Abstract: This article deals with urban parks, known as linear parks, and the Environmental Education Centers of Campo Grande/MS. It aims to highlight the legal instruments that support the promotion of community environmental education in these spaces. Environmental education actions involve the entire community to raise awareness of current problems. These actions bring knowledge, experiences, and guidance on the sustainable environment. Based on document analysis, the text brings the context of the four Environmental Education Centers in Campo Grande, the participatory activities from 2009 to 2020, and the legal instruments that underpin the activities. The survey found that the Municipal Environmental Education Program exists, but the Environmental Education Centers do not yet have a Political Pedagogical Project (PPP).

Key words: environmental education centers, legal instruments, participatory activities, Campo Grande/MS
