We checked out the farmer's market on Sunday and it had a lot of great produce. Probably similar…read moreprices to the mercados but better quality. My daughter had a lot of fun on the playground, and there were tons of kids to play with. We will definitely return! The farmer's market runs on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The benches and trees interwoven by a little path are quite sweet and enjoyable for taking a break on a stroll or a run through the neighborhood. The rest of the park elements feel rather random - a giant statue in homage to the park's namesake, a set of rusted rings and bars for adults to hang from and a tiny play structure for kids. All are nice but in the small space of the park each feels incomplete. Unfortunately (and quite oddly given the amount of security patrolling the neighborhood) I've seen vagrants camped out there various times. There are parking spaces surrounding the park, but I've never seen them too empty. On weekends the nearby church is packed with weddings and Services, so parking in the area can be quite tough. Not a destination in and of itself but not a bad spot to checkout if you're nearby.

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.

I stayed in a nearby hotel and walked to and from the park several times a day, and always felt entirely safe doing so.
