Parque da Jaqueira, Urban park in Recife, Brazil.

Parque da Jaqueira lies between Rua do Futuro and Avenida Rui Barbosa in Recife's Jaqueira neighborhood. The park is split into two parts: a historic site with a chapel listed in the 1970s, and an area for sports and cultural activities. Its grounds hold a 1,000 m running track, a 400 m BMX track, a 1,100 m cycle lane and a 600 m skating area, with ornamental and fruit trees such as jaqueiras and mango trees.

The land was transferred to Recife city hall by federal law no. 10,175, donated by the INSS. The park opened in 1985, when ornamental and fruit trees including jaqueira, mango and pitanga were planted. Its chapel was listed in the 1970s, and in 1993 the city created the "Adote uma Praça" programme.

People from different parts of Recife come here daily for walks, light exercise, and socializing, making it one of the most visited green spaces in the city. On weekends, the park fills with families, joggers, and groups of friends who treat it as a shared outdoor living room.

The park is open daily from early morning to late evening, and visiting in the morning is a good idea since the heat builds up through the day. Restrooms and drinking water are available on site, and there is parking nearby for those arriving by car.

The park takes its name from the jaqueira tree, a tropical fruit tree that grows throughout the grounds and provides much of the shade along the paths. These trees produce jackfruit directly on their trunks rather than on the outer branches, which often surprises first-time visitors.
