People from Brasília, old and young, love to jog and cycle in this park, and they crowd available walking and cycling spaces, especially on weekends.The thing is, there is not much else to do or see in this giant savanna-like environment. Temperatures are very high during daytime, all through the year, and you are exposed to direct sunlight most of the time. There is a fake lake, and a few shade trees but, believe me, they don’t help much with the hot temperatures.Besides, it’s not taken care of by local authorities; toilets are constantly out of order, there’s no water in water fountains, grass needs mowing where it exists.There’s also a weird funfair called Nicolandia, which apparently is part of every local’s childhood memories, and it remains unchanged since they were young.I can’t really recommend a visit, but if you insist, don’t forget to take with you a lot of SPF 50 sunscreen.

One of the best places in Brasilia. Nice atmosphere. The ideal place for jogging. A must place to see. The reason not to give an "excellent" rating is that the local government does not give the attention the place deserves. Thre is so much to be done there. Despite this, a lovely place to attent.

The City Park is a nice place to go running, walking and biking. It is wonderful for children to be outside on a picnic or just to drink coconut water and other refreshments. There are nice green areas, full of trees, for romantic couples. It is wide and fltat which allows for a magnific view of the Brasilia special blue sky. I highly recommend it.

I am one of the thousands of brasilians that adopted the Parque da Cidade as my second home. It is a should go place and you do almost everything you want to. It is crowded on the weekends and after 18:00 between monday and friday. Futevolei, crossfit, running, voleyball are one of the many sports you Can do there.

This is a big park that has a lot to offer for everyone from young to old. Plenty of space to stretch out and not be bothered by anyone. Park has Running and Bike trails from 4km to 10km long. Plus, about 4 different restaurants to choose from and an Amusement Park and a Mini Formula One Go Kart track. Park has plenty of shade to sit under during a lazy warm afternoon and from time to time concerts from Jazz to typical Brazilian music.

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 of all places. It is part of my childhood and there is a park with a rocket which is a trip back to the 70´s. Nicolândia, an amusement park which has just gotten a new ferris wheel. I run there at least twice a week and love to see that there are always people riding their bikes, playing with their children, the smell of popcorn in the air always brings me back to my childhood and now I love to run the 4km, 6km or if I´m on a good day the 10km paths. This is one of my favorite places in Brasilia.

Park is HUGE, awesome paths for biking, walking, for kids to play. Work out stations placed thru out the park. Sitting areas, shops to buy a drink (non alcohol) sit and enjoy watching the ducks.

Fantastic runing/biking/rollerblading trails with signage and restrooms. Super clean, green space that even has a moini amusement park! Highly recommend if you're looking for an active break to your visit. 5k/10k/8mi loops in the park that's I think slightly larger than NYC's Central Park.

A park in tribute to the wife of the city's founder is itself littered with artwork and sculptures and architectural contours that thread through the city

Brasilia's city park is an amazing and huge green area right in the middle of the city. It is one of the world´s biggest urban parks.Though I would not recomend a night walk (as drug related violence may be a problem), the place is pretty safe during day time.There are toilet facilities (quite good, indeed, considering Brazilian public toilet standards), snack bars, restaurants, basketball courts, soccer fields, jogging tracks and also a roller coaster equiped ammusement park.Sunscreen is advised.It is definetly a must see.

Parque da Cidade is an excellent park for a stroll, running, cycling, exercising or rollerblading. The tracks are 4Km, 6Km or 10Km long, so you can choose what length to run/cycle/rollerblade. The tracks are all in good shape. There are heaps of places with permanent equipment for exercising. The only downside is the lighting at night (I would stick to the 4Km track only), and the toilets are dreadful, but that´s the pattern mostly everywhere anyway.

It is not the biggest if you count all the reservoirs that are located surrounding Brasilia, however this is a recreational park, great for jogging, running and riding a bike. You can stand up paddle in the lake , or just stay put to watch the beautiful brasilia`s sunset.

Great park where locals go to practice sports. Good to have a coconut water or açaí at the end of the afternoon.

A very good park located in the center of the city. Has football, basket ball, tennis courts and a small lake as well. Nice place to practice few sports or just go jogging, cycling or walking. Recommend to all.
