This article aimed, through literature review, develop a theoretical discussion about the two universes proposed here - leisure facilities and seniors - reflecting about the projective variables of leisure facilities for this population. The purpose was to point out that the spaces of leisure considered only in the functions they provide, must be added new elements to optimize their uses and interactions. We also sought to reflect on how the projective issue of space creates a "three dimensional reality" in terms of ideas, the result of which is the realization of the project's work. Therefore, we must reflect on the allocation of symbolic meanings of space, specifically leisure, as they become part of the ambience and this, in turn, acts on the imagination of its users, or not allowing the intensification of its uses, especially with regard to the practice of leisure. With regard to the population selected for the research, it was found that studies in several areas of knowledge are establishing a more consistent picture of what is considered old age in the twenty-first century.
