Urban park is one of the few green spaces that retain natural traces and are easy for the elderly to reach, and it has become the main place for the elderly to carry out leisure, entertainment, physical fitness and interpersonal activities. The reasonable layout of urban parks is of great significance to improve the quality of life of the elderly in old age. In this article, using the network analysis method in ArcGIS software, the accessibility of urban parks in Xihu District of Nanchang City based on elderly walking was evaluated and analyzed, and three strategies for optimizing the layout of the urban parks were proposed, including increasing the number of urban parks, improving the urban traffic network, and strengthening urban greenway planning and construction. The research results can provide reference for the optimal layout of urban parks in Xihu District, Nanchang City, so that the urban parks can better meet the outdoor leisure needs of the elderly, and the elderly's sense of well-being and gain is enhanced.
