Parque da Água Branca

Parque da Água Branca is a large green space in São Paulo with gardens, educational facilities, and recreational areas spread across its grounds. The park contains buildings housing exhibits and a variety of outdoor spaces for walking, sitting, and enjoying nature.

The park began in 1929 as a public space for the growing city, with buildings and grounds designed for education and recreation. Over time, it was recognized as a heritage site and protected by local preservation organizations.

The park holds exhibits that show how people lived and worked in this region, with a replica of a traditional rural house and a geological museum that explain local traditions and natural history. Visitors can walk through these spaces and connect with how the environment shaped daily life here.

The park is open daily and offers walking paths through various areas with different levels of accessibility depending on the section. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the museums, gardens, and outdoor spaces at their own pace.

The park was designed with riding facilities and specialized exercise areas for older visitors, reflecting an early commitment to accommodating different age groups. This approach made it an uncommon green space that focused on inclusivity alongside nature and education.
