Parque Metropolitano de Pituaçu, Urban park in Salvador, Brazil
The Pituaçu Metropolitan Park spans 425 hectares, containing a large lake, cycling paths, and preserved sections of Atlantic Forest within Salvador's city limits.
The park originated in 1906 with the construction of a dam on the Pituaçu River to supply water to Salvador, and received official protected status in 1973.
The park features an open-air museum called Espaço Cravo, displaying 800 artworks, including sculptures and paintings by Brazilian artist Mário Cravo.
