Parque Portugal - Lagoa do Taquaral

It's one of the most known places in Campinas. It's a classic park you should visit if you are in town.

A lot of trees, tracks for walking/running and cycling. There is a big lagoon in the inside with an inner track. A lot of sports courts (basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc) of cement and sand.

It's a very good place to spend a few hours.

It's lacking some conservation and it doesn't allow pets inside, sadly.

More recently it is hosting some cultural activities and during August 2019 there was the DegustArt festival there with a lot of known restaurants serving food and drinks in small portions. It was very tasty! A fun fact: there was a lot of people from iFood (using the typical "motorcycle delivery uniform") grabbing the order on the table, going to the restaurants stands, taking the order and bringing to you. It was a cool plus.
