Trees in cities represent a high risk for the human population and its infrastructure, due to their age, poor development, deficient aerial and root physical structure, and for plagues and diseases that can cause slight to fatal accidents. The objective was to evaluate the risk that trees in the Viveros de Coyoacán Park in Mexico City represent for users. Different indicators were used to determine the condition of the site, dasometric characterization, and condition and vigor of the trees; classifying them as: 1) extreme risk, 2) high risk, 3) moderate risk and 4) low risk. Twenty-one species were identified with a total of 299 individuals, of which only three species represent 53% of the total. In terms of developmental stages, 84.6% correspond to juveniles and 15.4% to adults. Thirty percent have a DN of less than 20 cm and a height of less than 15 m, while 51% have heights greater than 18 m. 12 % of the individuals interfere with the electrical network, 37 % with signals and 9 % obstruct the walkers. 70 % of the trunks present mechanical damages, 50 % have weak unions in the branches and 60 % present ulcers or cankers. Due to their dangerousness, 32% present extreme risk and 12% a high risk. It is recommended to carry out formation and sanitation pruning, and soil decompaction. The criteria and indicators used allow a precise diagnosis of the current conditions in the population.
