 The
biggest and most well known park in the city is Ibirapuera Park.
It's right down the hill from Avenida Paulista, centrally located
on the south side of the city. There is a special path for walking
and jogging in the shade. Basketball courts, volleyball courts,
soccer fields and plenty of paths for biking are some of the
features of this park. A great open space in the middle of the
park is often used for free public concerts on Sundays.
There is a large playground for children so little ones won't
get bored. One of Sao Paulo's most reputable
is here, the Bienal, host of international as well as national
art exhibitions. If you're on the west side of Sao Paulo check
out Aguas Brancas Park where there's lots of shade and animal
exhibitions and auctions of all kinds, especially beef cattle
and horses.
On the north side try visiting the Horto Florestal. It's near
the Cantareira mountain range and the Governor's summer home
is there. The Luz Park is the oldest park in the city and has
been recently revamped with lots of flowers and sculptures from
the nearby Pinacoteca collection, making it a good option if
you're downtown. Some other parks worth your time if you're
in the area are Aclimacao, Burle Marx, and Villa-Lobos.
