This study is about Recreational Gardens, a public policy instituted in the city of Porto Alegre/RS from the 1920s. It aims at understanding its conditions of implementation and its interfaces with educational processes at the time. It is based on a historical documentary analysis, which enables the understanding of the conditions of instauration and functioning of the Recreational Gardens, its pedagogical characteristic and its relation with urbanity. It is possible to observe that the Recreational Gardens represented spaces of sociability and leisure for the porto-alegrenses, beyond a pedagogical intention fostered by the urban modifications, the hygienist and the civilizatory discourse flared by modernity.

Keywords : civilizatory process; urbanization; recreational gardens; hygienism; history of education.
