Parque Guarapiranga

Parque Guarapiranga is a large green space surrounding the Guarapiranga Reservoir with walking trails and recreational zones. The park features different areas for strolling, resting, and enjoying outdoor activities with views of the water.

The park was established in 1999 to protect natural areas in São Paulo and provide green space for the growing city population. This creation was part of a broader effort to make the city greener and more livable.

The Environmental Education Center runs workshops throughout the year that teach visitors about local ecosystems and sustainable practices. These programs show how city dwellers can develop a connection with the natural world around them.

The park is open from Tuesday to Sunday and offers restrooms, picnic areas, and basic facilities for visitors. The best time to visit is in the morning when it is less crowded and the light is particularly pleasant.

The park houses a Waste Museum that displays exhibitions about recycling and the transformation of discarded materials. This unusual museum highlights how creativity and environmental care can combine to create new perspectives on everyday items.
