Augusta - Mayor Bruno Covas Park

The best park in this Centro area. There are security guards, benches to sit, a children's playground, a dog park, exercise equipment, and public restrooms. People picnic on the lawn and sun bathe in the center - men in Speedos and women in bikinis. There's a paved walking path around the center, and a shaded walking trail on the outer half perimeter. On weekends, only one entrance is open on Rua Caio Prado. Sadly, people smoke 🚬 freely, so that's a bummer.

Could do with a small kiosk for chilled drinks but otherwise best city park around this downtown SP: newly reopened, it has a space for your small 4 legged friends ( cachodromo), a playground and even an open theatre. Bonus super clean.

This is a really nice park currently called Augusta Park, that has areas for families, an area to walk exercise your dogs, and to lay in the sun and soak up the sun. It's pretty crowded on weekends,and there is frequently some type of live entertainment on weekends also. There are plenty of clean bathrooms near the stairs.

Small park that is mostly plane. There is a very tiny hill and a small area with large rock seats like at a stadium but that's it.

My favorite park in São Paulo. Centrally located and east access. Great for sunbathing (don’t be shy, locals wear swimsuits!), bringing kids, and picnics! Note that no glass bottles are allowed.

Popular little park with playgrounds both for dogs and kids, spaces for sunbathing and a foresty part for a refreshing walk in the shade. It’s guarded and closed at night, feels very safe.

After a fierce dispute, the neighborhood won a much needed public park. It's a brand new space with areas for dogs, sunbathing and much more. Worth a visit!

This park has been under construction for quite some time and it’s finally finished and I have no idea why it took so long. It’s terribly designed. The dog park was 100% designed by someone who has never seen a dog before. It has only been open for a month and the doors of the dog park are already falling off. I know Bruno Covas wasn’t the best person but no one deserves to have their name on this place.
