Bandung has about 2.5 million people that reside in 9.267 ha urban area. Bandung city has only about 189 hectares of urban park, which is not enough to serve all the settlements area. This study analyzed the level of accessibility of residents to the park services, in term of how far and wide the city park can serve the surrounding community. This research used Network Analysis in Geographic Information System (GIS) method to calculate the Services Area. The method used assumption that one park can be reached by residents walking in radius 1.250 km around their house. The result show that the existing of the park in Bandung City can only serve about 6.942 Ha of urban area, which is only serve 2/3 urban area in Bandung City. City parks in Bandung City have not been distributed well, especially in the eastern and western part of Bandung City, which have blank spot areas in which the residents are unable to reach to a city park. The result of this research can serve as an input to the local government in the planning of building new city parks, which will be beneficial for the residents of eastern and southern area of Bandung City.
