Parque Ecológico do Cortado

Parque Ecológico do Cortado is a protected natural area in Taguatinga featuring trails that pass through gallery forests and native vegetation. The site includes picnic grounds, play areas for children, and shaded spaces for visitors to rest.

The park was established in 2002 following conservation efforts that began more than a decade earlier in the area. These initial steps protected water sources and natural forests that remain essential to the region today.

The park serves as a gathering place where people connect with local nature and learn about the ecosystems that surround their city. Schools bring students here to experience native plants and wildlife up close.

The park offers free parking and grilling facilities, making it easy to access and enjoy. The trails are walkable for most visitors, and regular monitoring ensures a safe environment for everyone.

The park protects the springs that feed Cortado Creek, securing a vital water source in the middle of the city. This water supplies the local population and sustains the wildlife living within the forests.
