Sabiá Park Complex

Sabiá Park is one of the main parks and tourist attractions in Uberlândia and is part of the Virgílio Galassi Complex. Besides being the largest park in the city, it is the best according to the population, being close to the Center Shopping. With very generous opening hours, from 5am to 10pm, it can cater to all profiles. It has a running, cycling and walking track, as well as large sports courts, skate tracks, a children's playground, clubs with swimming pools, and even an aquarium and zoo!

Moreover, the zoo has about 200 animals of 50 different species, spread over 300 thousand square meters full of typical vegetation of Brazil. The environmental richness can be seen in the diversity of vegetation, which displays trees such as copaíba and jatobá. The zoo manages to fulfill the function of preserving animals at risk of extinction, such as the maned wolf, which is one of the animals present there, in addition to being the symbol of the cerrado. Another positive point: admission is free, like practically everything the park offers.

To complement the leisure options it has, the complex has a large artificial lake, perfect for activities such as pedal boating and also to take that photo before leaving. Children can also have a lot of fun with the children's playground, called "Children's World". It is full of activities and wooden toys, and even has a little train.

In short, it is a complete park, with 1.8 million square meters, located in the eastern zone of the city between the neighborhoods of Santa Mônica and Tibery, well served in terms of buses (central terminal) and transport. Tip: if the day is beautiful, take the car and go to Sucupira Waterfall, 25 minutes by car from the park. It's well worth the trip!

Gávea Park

Located in the southern zone, Gávea Park is also one of the state treasures of the city, managed by the City Hall of Uberlândia.
