It´s funny to think that the largest urban park in the world isn´t Hyde Park in London or Central park in New York, but Parque da Cidade, in Brasilia.
Huge park with many fun options! There are bars and restaurants, a lake to hang out and picnic, many barbecue areas and sports courts in general, many of them. Locals love the park for skating, biking, jogging, strolling. People is very sporty in Brasília. There are running tracks with 4, 6 and 10km. Most parts of the tracks are with no single tree or shadow. To refresh I recommend enjoy the free water dispenser once in a while or buy a coconut for drinkin (3R$). You can also use one of the adult playgrounds to work out belly, arms and legs, There are also the funny showers, where you just press a button and some tiny waterdrops will be dispensed, feels amazing at the skin, just try it out! Very recommendable to spend your freetime there.
There is also a go-cart track and Nicolândia, an amusement park which has just gotten a new ferris wheel. The smell of popcorn in the air always brings me back to my childhood.
tips: Feel free to pick mango or any other fruit at the trees. The park is so big you probably won't walk all over in a day. read more
