Governor's Residence Park, Urban park and historic site in São Brás, Brazil.

Governor's Residence Park occupies the grounds of the former official residence of Pará's governors in Belém, used as such from 1913 until the late 1980s. Its early-20th-century palace stands among Portuguese-stone paving, iron lamp posts and statues of women draped in fabric, with the state coat of arms above the main gate. Inside are the Passagem das Icamiabas, the Gasômetro theatre and an orchid house.

The grounds received official protection status and were classified as a DPHAC heritage site in 1982. This designation means the area was recognized as worth preserving under heritage protection laws.

The Sociedade Paraense de Orquidófilos, founded in 1962, keeps its headquarters and an orchid house with more than 400 species inside the park. The Coreto Pavilhão Frederico Rhossard honours a Pará poet, and on the Praça das Águas the statue of poet Rui Barata holds his book "O nativo de câncer". A train carriage of the old Belém-Bragança railway, used by governor Magalhães Barata, stands on the square.

Enter through the large iron gate crowned with the coat of arms of Pará, then follow the Passagem das Icamiabas to reach the Gasômetro Station theatre and its open-air amphitheatre. The grounds are paved in Portuguese stone with iron lamp posts, so walking is easy; the orquidário and the Coreto Pavilhão Frederico Rhossard sit along the same route.

The iron gates at the entrance, in Art Nouveau style, were made by Walter Macfarlane & Cia of England and shipped to Brazil in the 1960s; they first stood at the Parque do antigo reservatório Paes de Carvalho in the Campina district. The Gasômetro Theatre was built with material from the dismantled old Gasômetro shed at Largo São José.
