a The logistic regression model estimated the association of the independent variables with the odds of observing park users in the park areas. b The Poisson models (Exp. B) estimated the proportional difference in number of users associated with a one-unit difference in the independent variables for park target areas where at least one person was present. OR = Odds Ratio, CI = Confidence interval, Exp. B = Exponent of B, ref = reference category. * α < 0.05, ** α < 0.01, *** α < 0.001.
