There is a correlation between neighborhood space perception and green space activity level. Revealing the influence of neighborhood space perception on the green space activity level of older people in open and closed communities provides a theoretical reference for promoting reasonable allocation of public resources in community life circles and daily spatial behavior planning of older people’s health. The investigation of the elderly living in distinct residential communities in the central city of Chongqing found that the green area, green quality, health status, and public facility evaluation negatively affect the time of green space activities, and friendliness and health conditions positively affect the intensity of green space activities. The spatial perception evaluation of closed communities is higher than that of open communities, but the level of green space activity is lower. Open community health status and public facilities evaluation of negative shadow green space activity time. The results show that the neighborhood greening quality, public facilities, and sanitation may cause the elderly to avoid physical activity behaviors subjectively by enhancing perceived inactivity. While community living conditions and openness determine the quality of neighborhood social and physical environment variables, leading to the difference in green space activity levels between open and closed communities. The difference in the level of green space activity between the elderly in the community and the gated community; Neighborliness may be a regulatory factor in response to green space activities in the elderly population. Green area, green quality, health status, and public facility evaluation negatively affect the time of green space activities, and friendliness and health conditions positively affect the intensity of green space activities. The spatial perception evaluation of closed communities is higher than that of open communities, but the level of green space activity is lower; Open community health status and public facilities evaluation of negative shadow green space activity time.
