Parque das Nações Indígenas, Urban park in Campo Grande, Brazil
Parque das Nações Indígenas is an urban park in Campo Grande featuring a lake created by Prosa Creek and landscaped pathways throughout its grounds. The space includes sports courts, play areas, and walking routes suitable for various recreational activities.
The land was previously used for farming before being acquired and redeveloped in 1993 as a public recreation area. This transformation turned former agricultural land into a major green space for the community.
The park's six entrances are named after indigenous nations of Mato Grosso do Sul, honoring groups like the Guarany, Kaiowá, and Terenas. Walking through different gates connects visitors to the heritage of these communities and their place in the region.
The park is open daily from 6:00 to 21:00. It has six entrances, each named after an indigenous nation of Mato Grosso do Sul. The four-kilometre walking track is fully asphalted and follows the lake. Swimming and fishing in the lake are prohibited, as are glass containers, tents and fires.
The Bioparque Pantanal, a freshwater aquarium complex, was tendered in 2011 and only opened to the public gradually in 2022. It was built to display fish found in the Pantanal, alongside restaurants, restrooms and rest areas. The park's own lake, formed by Prosa Creek, allows canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, but swimming and fishing are prohibited.
