Running trails, bike paths, and yoga and capoeira sessions let locals and visitors alike keep fit, while a clutch of museums and galleries — such as the museums of Modern and Contemporary Art, all designed by master Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer — gives the brain a good workout. The impressive Museu Afro Brasil and fiery Auditório Ibirapuera are two of the park's treasures. « less

If you can't make it to the famous beaches of Brazil and are stuck in Sao Paolo over the weekend, Ibirapuera Park, is the place to be!! I stayed in Itaim, so it was only a three kilometer walk to the Park and its in a safe area. The Park is big (545 acres) not as huge as Central Park... More

Living in an urban jungle that is Sao Paulo, Ibirapuera was my oasis and a regular weekend escape. The park is a great place for people watching and really is a social space, rather than a conventional park. It is also a home to some great museums, such as Museo De Afro-Brasil and MAM. I recommend to come here to... More

I spent 14 days in Sao Paulo and I went jogging there every single day. The park around one mile away from the Jardim's hotels and offer an unlimited array of trails and circuits for runners, bikers, rollerblading and skate boarders. It is also home of a couple of good museums.

Lovely Park. Very big, full of green and activities, such as museums or open air concerts. People from all ages and socioeconomic level shared activities such as rollerskating, jogging, playing with child games in the different squares. I believe gate 3 or 4 is where the games are. Also you can see ducks and other birds in the small lake.... More

Sunday afternoon is prime time in the park! Spectacular people watching, amazing skateboarding, volleyball, and hoops. But the thing that was really fun was 'slack lining'. A very casual scene with lots of friendly locals who are happy to let you try and showcase their skills. The park had a "Central Park" feel with a Brazilian flavor, coconuts for sale,... More

Surprisingly well maintained park in the hear of the city. Close to Jardim and many hotel, it is super recommended for a daylight running. Directions are well indicated by signs placed along the ways in the park. You will find many people doing any kind of exercise, including classes of Yoga etc.

we toook the bus here (a trip in itself...there is speed readout above the driver so you can see how hard he is pushing it, flinging it around corners until passengers are tossed across the bus). the skateboarders were really cool, doing amazing tricks such as getting prone with plastic pucks on their hands. Good people watching, and the food... More
