Green infrastructure play significant roles in the totality of peoples’ well being but its adequacy has become a source of concern especially in
developing countries. This work examines the provision, adequacy and spatial distribution of available green infrastructure in Osogbo. Primary

and inferential statistics like mean, mode and standard deviation as well as ANOVA were used to analyze the data. It was discovered that
government is the principal provider of the available green infrastructure in the study area, green infrastructure is not unevenly and equitably
distributed and accessible, packs were also discovered to be the most common. The work recommended additional provision of green space
through collaborative efforts, eco-friendly master plan, monitoring and maintenance of green infrastructure as well as environmental education
for the residents.
