Abstract

Urban leisure and recreational practices in the city are rights that must be considered in public policy for children and adolescents. With the cartographic method, we aimed to characterize the ways in which children use public open spaces in Florianópolis/SC, relating aspects of gender and age. The data were recorded in field diaries composed when the researcher moved around the city. In total, 81 leisure facilities for children were observed in 19 districts of the city, accounting for 210 children and adolescents, 30% of which were female. The invisibility and low presence of girls in these places seem to be marks of gender oppression, which is engendered over the years in female bodies. In conclusion, the intersectionality between gender and age group can influence access to the right to leisure in public spaces, with girls, specially the older children and teens, experiencing more restricted access.
