Parque Guinle

Parque Guinle, Public park in Laranjeiras, Brazil.

Parque Guinle is a public park in Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro, covering about 24,750 m². It lies in a small valley at the foot of Morro Nova Cintra, shaped like an amphitheater, with a stream and artificial lakes at the back. The entrance is marked by a granite portal with an iron gate flanked by two winged lion statues. Three modernist residential buildings by Lucio Costa stand within the grounds.

The area was originally the garden of Eduardo Guinle's mansion, built in the 1920s with landscaping by French designer Gérard Cochet. Between 1948 and 1954, three residential buildings designed by Lúcio Costa were erected within the grounds, and Roberto Burle Marx reworked the garden. The mansion, now Palácio Laranjeiras, became the official residence of the state governor of Rio de Janeiro.

The three residential buildings within the grounds showcase postwar Brazilian modernist design with clean lines and open spaces that shape how visitors experience the park. These structures reflect how housing and nature coexisted in Rio's urban planning of that era.

The park sits near Largo do Machado metro station and offers children's play areas, exercise equipment, and pathways for walking or jogging. Visitors can find spaces throughout for outdoor activities and rest.

Lucio Costa's original plan called for six residential blocks arranged radially around the park; only three were built between 1948 and 1954, and a later building by the MMM Roberto office completed the set. The park's layout is often compared to Brasília's superquadras.
