Parque Natural Municipal do Pedroso

Parque Natural Municipal do Pedroso, Natural reserve in Santo André, Brazil.

Parque Natural Municipal do Pedroso is a nature reserve in Santo André featuring Atlantic Forest vegetation, multiple lakes, and natural springs throughout the property. The landscape consists of dense forest areas crossed by waterways and marked trails for visitors to explore.

The area was expropriated in the 1940s and opened to public visitation in the 1970s, when it gained importance with the installation of stages for shows, pedal boats, snack bars and a cable car designed by architect Ruy Oktake. The cable car, contracted in January 1979 and inaugurated on 1 May 1982 by Mayor Lincoln dos Santos Grillo, was scrapped in 1990. The park became a full-protection conservation unit by Municipal Law 7733/98 and was renamed a Natural Park under Municipal Law 8881/06.

The park's name comes from Estrada do Pedroso, the road that crosses it. In the 1970s the site gained stages for shows, pedal boats, snack bars and a cable car with three stations, designed by architect Ruy Oktake. The cable car, inaugurated in 1982, was scrapped in 1990 and could not be restored in the 2017 renovation because of the high cost.

The park lies along Estrada do Pedroso, with trails and alamedas for walking; a 2017–2018 renovation restored benches, kiosks, tables, bins and barbecue grills. The cable car was not restored because of high costs, so do not count on it. The area holds 15 lakes, 37 springs and a waterfall within the Billings basin.

The park supplies fresh water to the city through the Pedroso stream microbasin, a role many visitors do not immediately recognize when walking the trails. This hidden function reveals how closely the forest is linked to daily life in the region.
