Urban green spaces (UGS) in dense metropolitan environments are critical perceptual landscapes where people interact with nature and form associations. It is essential to understand how users perceive the spatial cues to improve user experience in these spaces. This study evaluates the perceptual qualities of two urban parks in Mumbai- One Green Mile and Linear Park. The analysis focuses on three key perceptual attributes based on existing literature: spatial sequence, visual coherence and edge quality. A structured questionnaire was developed and administered to 50 respondents, who rated their interpretation of each park using a 5-point Likert scale. The dataset was subjected to reliability analysis, normality testing, Mann-Whitney U comparisons and Spearman correlation to understand interrelationships among the three spatial indicators and comparative analysis of the two parks. The findings highlight that spatial clarity in urban green spaces emerges from the interaction of sequential flow, coherence in spatial composition and smooth spatial transitions, rather than any single spatial attribute in isolation. Linear Park’s stronger performance highlights the importance of consistent spatial rhythm and seamless transitions in enhancing user perception. The study contributes to evidence-based landscape evaluation by demonstrating how perceptual indicators can be quantitatively assessed and how spatial organisation influences user interpretation in urban parks. These insights support design strategies aimed at strengthening spatial clarity and improving user experience in high-density urban contexts.
