Resultados. Participaron 41 personas, 70% mujeres y 91% con hijos menores de 14 anos. El 80,5% opinan que cerrar los parques publicos infantiles es una medida innecesaria. Cerca del 20% frecuenta mas espacios cerrados. El 68% cree es percibido por los ninos como algo negativo. En los datos cualitativos, se identifican 3 categorias a favor del cierre de parques y 5 en contra, destacando que la apertura de parques evitaria la concentracion en otros espacios. Conclusiones. La poblacion no esta de acuerdo con el cierre del area de juegos como medida para combatir la pandemia de covid19, la cual se considera inapropiada, cientificamente injustificada y contraproducente, ademas de haber sido aplicada de manera desigual en su entorno.
