The social, environmental, and technological transformations that cities are experiencing have limited children’s opportunities to interact with nature and care for the environment. This study analyzed the relationship between proenvironmental attitudes and behaviors with children’s level of contact with nature and their visits to urban green spaces designed for play. A mixed methodology was used that involved individual interviews, didactic activities and drawings on specific topics by children from elementary schools. The results of the study highlighted a significant relationship between proenvironmental attitudes and children’s visits to parks. However, limitations were identified in the exploration of proenvironment behaviors. The authors concluded that parks can be considered outdoor play spaces and children have the potential to develop pro-environmental attitudes.
