Mangabeiras Park

Mangabeiras Park is a large green space in the Serra do Curral featuring native forest areas, walking trails, and sports facilities. The site sits at about 1,100 meters elevation and forms an important natural area within the city.

The park was designed in the 1970s by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. Its creation was part of an effort to improve urban green spaces and give residents better access to nature.

Local artists and musicians regularly use the open spaces for performances and gatherings. These events connect the natural setting with cultural life for city residents.

The park is well equipped with walking trails and sports facilities, making it easy for visitors to navigate around. Parking is available, and most paths are wide enough to accommodate different activities.

Native animals like marmosets and squirrels roam freely through the forest areas. These natural encounters give visitors a genuine sense of how nature and city life coexist here.
