A 1.2 million m2 park built on land reclaimed from the bay in 1965, designed by Affonso Reidy with landscaping by Roberto Burle Marx and more than 12,000 trees. Cariocas use it every day for cycle paths, football pitches and picnics, and Veja Rio calls its sunset behind Sugarloaf an everyday luxury.
