The natural environment has been replaced by urban spaces, and these stages of relationships between the human community and its physical environment. Urban space is composed of a range of variations of uses, including residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, urban parks, among others. Even with so many environmental and social benefits, green spaces have not been a priority use in urban space. The company admits that appropriate environmental conditions is crucial in the use of these areas, contributing to the promotion of health and wellness. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the environmental perception of students on urban parks Manaus, aiming to better understand their needs directed to the welfare, recreation, leisure, etc. A questionnaire with 18 questions was administered to 110 respondents. At the end of the analysis can be seen that some terms and environmental situations are still not clear to respondents, not all respondents have interest in activities and environmental practices, demonstrating a low level of importance, there is a small portion of people who are unaware of parks in the city of Manaus and confuse the identity and characterization of a park, it was pointed out that safety and waste on the trails are the main negative aspects that need to be improved; visit infrequently city parks and eventually would like to practice other leisure activities, not always compatible with the reality of each park in Manaus
