The study examines urban indicators created for sporting and recreational spaces as well as urban green areas. In addition, the current recreational potential of green areas in the city of Krakow is also assessed. The study period includes the years 1945–2021. The paper considers risks associated with the interpretation of rankings of the degree to which green areas are available in the city and subsequently provides a number of conclusions. The key conclusion in the paper is that Kraków possesses an immense recreational and leisure potential that is not evenly distributed in the city. This potential can be used in the design of urban recreational areas. One problem examined here is the issue of asymmetric access to such areas. Finally, the paper looks at the concept of ‘available green space’ and attempts to redefine it.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Green areas and recreational and leisure potential on the example of Krakow}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/122350/PDF-MASTER/2021-TEKA-04-Kochel-Zielinski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2021.138703}, keywords={accessibility, recreational and leisure areas, green areas, available green space}, }
