São Paulo - Ibirapuera Park

Ibirapuera Park

Ibirapuera Park was laid out by Burle Marx, with buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer. With an area of 1.8 million sq.m (2.2 million sq.yds), the park is a leisure paradise for the people of São Paulo, with a lake, fountains, children's playgrounds, keep-fit trails, a roller-skating rink and an open-air theatre for concerts and other musical events; but with its numerous monuments, museums and administrative buildings it is also of great architectural and cultural interest.

The park is on Avenida Pedro Alvares Cabral, which can be reached by way of Avenidas Manuel da Nóbrega, Brasil, 23 de Maio, Ibirapuera and Brigadeiro Luís Antônio and a number of other streets.
