Halfeld Park, Public park in central Juiz de Fora, Brazil.

The 14,740 square meter green space contains a lake, a bridge, and a bamboo-style pavilion surrounded by Portuguese stone pathways.

The land belonged to engineer Henrique Halfeld until 1854, when the municipal council purchased it and transformed it into the city's first public space.

The park serves as a central gathering point for political speeches, religious activities, and community events near the Municipal Chamber and São Sebastião Church.

The park sits at the intersection of four main streets: Halfeld, Marechal Deodoro, Santo Antonio, and Avenida Barão do Rio Branco.

The site hosted the city's first municipal library and radio station in a now-demolished Art Deco building designed by architect Raphael Arcuri.
