Parque Potycabana

Parque Potycabana, Urban park in Teresina, Brazil.

Parque Potycabana is an urban park in Teresina with multiple sports facilities including futsal, volleyball, and basketball courts, a badminton area, and a skateboarding track. The grounds also feature green spaces and walking paths for recreational use.

Parque Potycabana opened in September 1990, designed by the Piauí architect Gerson Castelo Branco for governor Alberto Tavares Silva, on an initial 9,000 m² site with an artificial beach, pools and wave pools. On 16 May 2013, under governor Wilson Nunes Martins, a renovation and replanning was inaugurated that expanded the park to 43,000 m², of which 15,000 m² are green area.

The name Potycabana refers to the Poti riverbank where the park lies. Its two event stages, a main one and an auxiliary one, host concerts and gatherings, and the park's Facebook page announces upcoming events. The artificial beach and wave pools of the original 1990 layout were replaced in the 2013 redesign by sports courts and cycling tracks.

Parque Potycabana sits on the banks of the Rio Poti, near the Ponte Juscelino Kubitschek and Teresina Shopping, not in the city's eastern district. The 2013 replanning added a 1.5 km walking track and two 1.5 km asphalt cycling tracks, so walking and cycling routes are marked separately.

The park's name echoes Copacabana and was coined by its designer, the Piauí architect Gerson Castelo Branco, for the leisure complex opened in September 1990 by governor Alberto Tavares Silva. Its original 9,000 m² held an artificial beach, wave pools and a water slide, and it was built to receive 50,000 people a day.
