Objective: To understand the perception of health by older adults who perform physical activity in a public park in Cali, Colombia. Methodology: A qualitative case study was carried out with a phenomenological approach. The study group was made up of seven adults who perform physical activity in the park, selected by convenience and purposeful sampling. The technique used was the in-depth interview. Results: It was found that the perception that older adults have about health is positive and is related to independence, autonomy, being able to fend for themselves, feeling useful, and interacting with other people. Conclusion: Physical activity is used by the elderly to maintain health and as a pretext to interact with their peers, use their free time, and undertake tasks in favor of their community.
