Políticas Públicas de Esporte e Lazer na Cidade: Não Só de Pista de Skate, Vive o Skatista de Recife-PE

In urban contexts, there is the growth of skateboarders. This reality refers to the public sector, especially municipal, demands related to public policies that contribute to the maintenance and increase of collective spaces. This study aimed to analyze the public spaces available for skateboarding in the city of Recife-PE. The research, of qualitative and quantitative nature, had data from interviews with 100 skateboardes collaborators. As a result, it is essential to set up and maintain adequate, organized and decentralized locations to guarantee access rights for citizens interested in skateboarding. The decentralization of spaces can assure users of democratic and participatory occupation.
