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.

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.

Large, clean and decently maintained playground, plus separate work out areas including one complete 'circuit' of machines that are popping up in parks everywhere. For extra fun, you can rent a 3 wheeled bike for 30 minutes at 10 reais. One lap around the entire park takes about 15 minutes at a slow-ish pace. The only downside in this park was the lack of signage so you may need to walk around to find the playground and bike rentals. Also, it felt completely safe with plenty of people enjoying the trails, and several crossfit and running groups in the late afternoon/early evening. The trees are mostly young so it probably doesn't have much shade when it is sunny. There is no shade in the playground area either so keep that in mind during the hot summer months.

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.
