People's Park, Urban park in Itaim Bibi, São Paulo, Brazil
People's Park is a spacious green area in a central neighborhood that features multiple sports facilities and pathways for movement. The site includes soccer fields, volleyball courts, and recreational spaces connected by walking and running paths.
This space emerged in the early 2000s from informal sports fields that factory workers and neighbors had used for generations. The shift to official municipal park status preserved this long-standing community use for the public.
This green space has long served as a gathering place where neighbors meet for sports and recreation together. The open fields remain actively used by local residents who maintain their traditions of community play and social connection.
The park is open daily and can be visited from early morning through late evening, with entry points from several surrounding streets. Visitors should note that most areas are open and unshaded, so appropriate clothing and water are recommended.
The site received recognition from two heritage protection institutions that added it to their official registers. This dual designation honors its social importance as a location that reflects the everyday life of São Paulo residents.
