Summary/Abstract: One of the elements affecting the quality of life is recreational activity. Considering the ageing demographic structure of urban residents, it is necessary to take into account the needs and expectations of seniors in the activities of cities. In addition, an important factor determining recreational activity is the transport accessibility of the recreational space of cities on which this article is focused. The article consists of three parts. The first explains the theoretical issues regarding transport accessibility. The second presents considerations on the mobility of seniors. The supplement to the discussion is the third part, which is a case study for the Zawadzkiego-Kolonowica housing estate in Szczecin (Poland), whose age structure shows a high level of ageing.
