Parque Tanguá, Public park in northern Curitiba, Brazil
Parque Tanguá is a public park in northern Curitiba with artificial lakes, waterfalls, and landscaped gardens spread across the grounds. The grounds are connected by well-paved paths and feature open green spaces throughout the area.
The park opened in 1996 on land that was once used for quarrying stone, transforming an abandoned industrial site into a recreational space. This conversion was part of Curitiba's urban renewal efforts during that decade.
The upper section holds the Poty Lazzarotto Garden, inaugurated on 6 June 1998 by mayor Cassio Taniguchi and named after the Paraná artist Poty Lazzarotto. Beside it stands a lookout 65 metres above the lower lake. The park's name comes from the Tanguá quarries that once worked this ground.
The park has multiple entry points and paved paths that allow access to all areas, making it easy to explore on foot. There are designated spaces for cycling and jogging if you want to be more active.
The artificial tunnel linking the two lakes can be crossed by boat, a route most visitors never take. The upper level holds the Poty Lazzarotto Garden, opened on 6 June 1998 and named after the Curitiba artist, with a lookout 65 metres above the lower lake.
