Sítio Rangedor State Park

Sítio Rangedor State Park is a protected natural area in central São Luís with walking trails, sports facilities, and native vegetation. The grounds contain several recreational zones designed for different types of outdoor activity.

The area was first set up as an ecological station in 2005 and became a state park in 2016. This shift reflected changes in environmental conditions and what the community needed.

The Legislative Assembly of Maranhão sits within the park, showing how government buildings and nature protection exist together in this space. Visitors notice how the institution blends into the green surroundings rather than dominating it.

The park opens daily and contains eight recreational areas with sports courts and playgrounds, along with a cycling path. Visitors should wear comfortable clothes and arrive during operating hours to make the most of the grounds.

The park serves as a critical groundwater recharge area for São Luís because of its porous soil. Rainwater naturally seeps into the local aquifers, playing a hidden role in the city's water supply.
