The present study aims to estimate and compare the economic value of Tia Nair Park (Cuiabá-Brazil). To do this, the contingent valuation method was applied through two techniques: open-ended and referendum with bidding games. The average value obtained was R$ 2,900,000 against a willingness to pay of R$ 8.30 and a population of 30,000 visitors. Different results were observed for the two techniques, with open-ended presenting more challenges for application, as well as overestimating the value found.

Keywords : Economic valuation; urban park; contingent valuation method.
