Sumario:This article is intended to highlight the importance of green areas as spaces destined for leisure. Five different central areas in Pelotas were chosen, considering their historical and cultural relevance: Coronel Pedro Osório Square, Piratinino de Almeida Square, Cipriano Barcelos Square, Dom Antônio Zattera Park and the Linear Park Bairro Fragata. A semi-structured survey was applied to 72 present subjects at these parks and squares, in order to verify the citizens opinion over green areas. The questions considered aspects of infrastructure, vegetation, safety and proper conditions to recreation and sports practice. Topics concerned in the municipal legislation about green areas, urban afforestation, and also historical aspects of the appearance and development of those places were also approached in the questionnaire.
