Urban Parks and Municipal Lakes have assumed an important role in the social and spatial dynamics of the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia. It is assumed that the use of these spaces is related to the search for socialization, recreation and healthy habits, including the practice of physical activities and the rapprochement of urban society with nature. However, it is noted that there are heterogeneous realities with regard to structural, environmental and spatial aspects of these equipment, which possibly impacts on an extreme differentiation in the use of these spaces. Thus, the following thesis was elaborated: Although the Urban Parks and Municipal Lakes of RMG constitute public spaces endowed with environmental and social potential, they are subject to an unequal process of use and appropriation by the population, which is influenced by the different levels of structure, management and conservation of these equipments and by the actions of real estate speculation related to the capitalist and segregating character present in the urban space. The verification of the referred thesis was guided by the following objectives: To know the demands for parks, lakes and green areas in the municipalities of RMG, resulting from the construction of the PDI-RMG; Understand how public parks and lakes are distributed in the RMG; Knowing the perception of users in relation to these spaces; Know the dynamics of other public spaces in the municipalities of RMG that do not have Municipal Parks and Lakes; and Problematize the role played by these spaces during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The methodological procedures adopted were bibliographical research; documentary research; mapping; collection of primary data through the application of semi-structured questionnaires and field work; and secondary data collection, through a survey. Among the results achieved by the research, it was revealed that the analyzed public spaces are endowed with a multifunctionality, which is constituted by formal and informal uses, and that the researched spaces are perceived by the interviewed individuals as environments that promote benefits to physical and mental health of the population. It was found that parks and lakes have served as objects of real estate enhancement of urban space. It was also apprehended a heterogeneous reality in these spaces with regard to environmental and structural aspects and the culture of prevention against the dissemination of the new coronavirus.
