Objectives: Evaluate the territorial accessibility to the eco-parks of the city of Manizales, Colombia, in order to potentiate and promote their use, improving the interaction of the population with the environment. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The methodology addressed includes evaluation of territorial accessibility through geo-statistical analysis, using GIS tools, as well linking of socioeconomic variables for calculation of coverage. Findings: The average access level obtained for the eco-park system is close to 30 minutes of travel for coverage more than 80% in population and area, where the population belonging to the commune "Atardeceres" presents the greatest difficulty of access; On the other hand, the ecological center with the best evaluation obtained is the "Popular forest the meadow" eco-park. Application/Improvements: The methodological proposal is a support for environmental planning of a city and support for definition of future protection areas.
