Parque Estadual da Chacrinha, State park in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Parque Estadual da Chacrinha is a protected park in the Copacabana district along the southern slopes of Morro de São João. It stretches from Praça Cardeal Arcoverde toward the Leme fortification entrance, offering walking trails, playgrounds, and rest areas across its wooded terrain.

The park was created in 1969 on land from former military installations and the old Chácara do Leme estate, known as Chacrinha, which gave the park its name. It was only effectively implemented in 1984, when the area was released. Parts of the hillside had been occupied by low-income residents, a social and environmental challenge for the city.

The name comes from a small estate that once occupied this area. Today, locals use the space as a retreat from the busy streets of the surrounding neighborhood.

The park has well-maintained trails and resting areas with benches and shade throughout the grounds. Entrances are clearly marked, and the space remains open to visitors during daylight hours on most days.

The park is the last refuge in the area for animals such as the opossum, armadillo, roadside hawk, owl, anu-branco, anu-preto and sanhaço, alongside embaúba, guatambu and paineira trees. Its 13.3 hectares of forest also help moderate the climate of densely built Copacabana.
