Parque Ana Lídia, Playground in Brasília, Brazil

Parque Ana Lídia is a playground in Brasília, Brazil, located within Parque da Cidade. It features a sand surface with play structures such as a climbing unit with a canopy, a slide, benches, and a spring rider, surrounded by trees and buildings.

Parque Ana Lídia opened in 1969 as one of the first public playgrounds in Brasília, originally named after Iolanda Costa e Silva. It was renamed in 1973 to honor Ana Lídia Braga, a child victim of a crime, and has since become a symbol of childhood in the city.

The playground is a well-known meeting point for families in Brasília, and many adults remember playing there as children. The rocket-shaped slide and other themed structures are local landmarks that spark nostalgia and conversation among parents and grandparents.

The playground is easy to reach on foot or by car, with paths leading into the larger park. It is busiest on weekends, so visiting on a weekday morning offers more space for young children to play.

The playground is divided into themed areas, including a fairy-tale section with a pumpkin carriage and a futuristic zone with a giant rocket. The rocket, about 10 meters tall, is a favorite climbing spot and a recognizable landmark for locals.
