This research analyzes the production of urban public spaces and the forms of use and appropriation of the population, having as object of analysis the Sólon de Lucena Park. This public space is the second oldest urban park in the city of João Pessoa, capital of Paraíba. It is located in the city´s perimeter of state´s heritage protection. It is one of the places of greatest attraction and movement of people and has symbolic relevance for the locals. Between 2014 and 2016, it underwent a process of requalification whose transformations were the reason for this work to develop. In the light of urban ethnography, we seek to uncover the connections and dissociations of the proposed, perceived and practiced uses, as well as to connect the reality of the object of study with the theories of Lefebvre, Serpa and Certeau, among others, on the production and appropriation of public spaces. From this theoretical - methodological matrix, the corpus of research analyzed revealed that the requalification strategies undertaken in the space called "Lagoa" promoted, on one hand, an image as a postcard, of the Park and even more geared towards the tourist and cultural character and, on the other, through the new equipment and activities, expanded the use and the diversified appropriation by the population. This process happens amid contradictions and daily conflicts typical of the public / private relation of contemporary urban space.
