Throughout the park there are tracks and walkways and there's a nice lake in the center. The only downside, and this is a major disappointment, is that there might be looters and criminals after sunset, so pay attention to your surroundings! Our stroll through the park got us hungry, so we decided to find a nearby restaurant. We stumbled upon this place with nice open seating, so we decided to stay for lunch. It's actually within the park on the southwest corner, but I couldn't find it on Yelp. Jardim Churrascada is the name of the restaurant, and it was my first time trying Brazilian biro-biro rice - their version of fried rice - and it was delicious! It pairs well with any type of meat. With the perfect weather, we had a really lovely brunch. São Paulo is a nice city and has so much potential to become one of the world's top megacities if only the government were less corrupt and were more proactive in developing and fine tuning the city's infrastructures.

Step into this park and it's like going back in time. The native trees are absolutely gorgeous and so calming. To me, spending time here is better than a trip to the spa! I used to come here almost every day when I lived in Jardins. I miss it! Of course, amidst the tranquil beauty, there are often musicians, speakers, rallies, and all kinds of other exciting events. There is also a cute dog park nextdoor (the best time to go is around 5:00 p.m. for "doggy happy hour") and a small arts fair on weekends right by the main entrance to the park.

The kid's area is pretty large and it's fenced in. Weekends are always busy and so are the after school hours on weekdays. As for the dogs, there's no fenced-in area, but owners of those with well-behaved pups allow them to run off-lease. On certain days, you'll also find a man selling ice cream. This area is great for a walk, and well removed from the city noise.

It's not nearly as large, but it's very well kept with lovely landscaping and well thought out areas for play, congregating and training. There are futbal courts, a bike path that connects to the river trail (the gate is sometimes closed and you have to go under the bridge at the back of the park, not super well marked), jungle gyms, tons of workout equipment, picnic areas, two huge restrooms, a free no card library, art installations, lots of open space, and a wide variety of plants and vegetation. On a weekday morning, the running path is full of locals fitting in their daily jog or taking their pups out for a walk - also notice some of the maids in uniform walking dogs to get a sense of the irony of where "people's park" has been placed. I found an old map that showed that a favela once stood where the multi-billion dollar mall across the street now does! Many commuters cross through the park from the train station to get to work often cutting across the giant grass fields to get there on time. In the afternoons it's fairly quiet with a few moms and nannies, sometimes nearby workers picnic and often it gets super hot as there is not tons of shade. You may get a few stinky whiffs from the nearby giant sewer aka Pinheiros River but they generally pass by quickly. Sometimes office workers take out the Itau or Bradesco city bikes to take a trip around the park for inspiration and exercise - always fun to see them sweat in uniform. At night the place lights up with crazy workouts. Not just runners but now groups with personal trainers who set up obstacle courses and bring boxing equipment stake out their patch on the big lawns. It's got a great buzz and stays open till 10pm with nice lighting and serious security circling about the grounds. This is one of my favorite spots to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city (even though it's bordered on one side by a highway) and just enjoy laying on the grass. Just don't ruin it by sharing the secret with too many people or it will get over crowded like so many other parks in the city.

This avenue has more in common with Wall Street. It is mostly made of office buildings of financial and political orgnaizations.

And one place that really stands out architecturally and is worth a visit is the Sao Paulo Museum of Art.
