Bosque da Barra, Nature park in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil.

Bosque da Barra is a 53-hectare municipal natural park at Avenida das Américas 6000 in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. It is divided into an eastern public section with paved paths, alleys, volleyball and football courts, lawns by a large lake and playgrounds, and a western wetland where original restinga vegetation is preserved or replanted. A paved path circles the wetland.

The area was originally wetlands and became a protected urban park in 1983 to preserve part of the original Jacarepaguá lowland ecosystem. This action helped keep natural habitats safe as the surrounding region continued to develop.

The environmental center inside offers exhibitions about the local wildlife and plant life that depend on these wetlands to survive. Visitors learn how the park's different zones support different species.

The park is open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 AM to 5 PM with no entrance fee required. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as the trails pass through open areas where shade from vegetation may be limited.

The park's caimans are yellow-throated caimans (jacarés-de-papo-amarelo), accustomed to people and sometimes approaching the lawns near the lake. The western wetland, home to capybaras and sloths, can be circled on a paved path. The park was named Parque Arruda Câmara until 1992, after the botanist Manoel Arruda da Câmara.
