Parque Costa Azul, Urban park in Salvador, Brazil
Parque Costa Azul is an urban green space in Salvador offering walking paths and open areas filled with natural plants and trees. The park stretches along the coastal section of the city, creating shaded spaces and open lawns where visitors can move freely throughout the grounds.
Parque Costa Azul was built in 1995 in the Salvador neighbourhood of the same name, on the coastal strip beside the Rio Camarajipe. The land had held the ruins of the Clube Costa Azul, and residents campaigned for roughly two decades for its revitalisation before the park opened. It is managed by the Bahia state government through Conder.
The park's name comes from the Costa Azul neighbourhood and the ruins of the Clube Costa Azul that once stood on the site. Since 2015 it has hosted the Música no Parque programme, moved here from Parque da Cidade during works there, bringing concerts to the riverside grounds by the Rio Camarajipe.
The park sits by the Camarajipe river mouth along Salvador's Atlantic seafront, in the Costa Azul neighbourhood. It is managed by the state of Bahia through Conder, which has been studying a concession for maintenance and for rebuilding the restaurant and gym areas. Parts of the grounds showed deterioration and the former restaurant strip was closed in 2013.
The park occupies the site of the former Clube Costa Azul, whose ruins stood here for about two decades while residents campaigned for the area's revitalisation before construction in 1995. It lies beside the Rio Camarajipe where the river meets the coastal strip.
