Ibirapuera Park



Ibirapuera Park
In 1951, the then governor Lucas Nogueira Garcez establishing a joint committee - composed of representatives of public and private sector - to the Ibirapuera Park became the hallmark of the celebration of the fourth centenary of the city.

The commission was created and architect Oscar Niemeyer spent caring for the architectural design of the place. Roberto Burle Marx was responsible for the landscaping project. The Ibirapuera as we know it today, was given to St. Paul on August 21, 1954. Currently, he is the most visited park of Sao Paulo and the largest number of attractions.

At the beginning of its activities, there were turnstiles to control the number of visitors and the entrance was paid. At least that was the original intention, but it did not last.
Until the 80 was allowed to enter vehicles and motorcycles on the streets of the park. Gradually, the driveway was banned and only bikers could travel around as long as they turn to the "zero", a space for them to meet and accelerate their bikes.

Since then, the Ibirapuera Park has been growing in various activities and allocated space exclusively for pedestrians.

Final Thoughts

In a country with innumerable holidays, full of social contrasts from north to south, east to west, is unjust and cruel even address notes or materials focusing on only a privileged public. Let's put our feet down and look a little closer to reality. Our reality.

Seeking to rediscover some of the essence that lies behind all of us - those essences which are often lost due to turbulence and everyday situations - pautei parks, amusements, children, and Human Nature.


Ibirapuera Park

Interacting with nature is important. And try to show here that it is possible and feasible, since the cost is zero. But you have to allow it to be connected with nature.
Traveling in your dreams, recalling his childhood and perspectives to create a life and a world more human and honest.
A large majority of the population consists of people without resources, and need to be humble "looks more".

And why not take advantage of these days, take a moment for your child (a), his nephew (a) and be in contact with children, as also the day we celebrate them? Actually, every day is children's day, the young man's woman.
Children call us to reality. They solve everything in a very simple and straightforward, because most of the time, we are adults who complicate.

If for some reason can not live with children, observe them. Maybe you "see" at some point and rescue his "inner child".
