Passeio Público, Historic urban park in central Curitiba, Brazil.

The park features multiple lakes, small islands, walking paths, and a collection of small birds spread across its landscaped grounds.

Inaugurated on May 2, 1886, the park emerged from a marshy area through the efforts of Italian entrepreneur Francisco Fasce Fontana and Province President Alfredo Taunay.

The park's architectural portals, designed by Frederico Kirchgässner, replicate elements from a Paris cemetery, adding European influences to the landscape.

The park administration maintains designated areas for recreational activities, bird watching, and houses the administrative department of Curitiba's zoo.

The Ilha da Ilusão within the park served as the coronation site of Emiliano Perneta as prince of Paraná poets in 1911.
