Parque da Cidade Joventino Silva (Joventino Silva City Park), Salvador

The City Park is perfectly situated between Salvador's Santa Cruz and Itaigara neighborhoods. Revitalized in 2014, this urban oasis has swiftly reclaimed its status as the go-to spot for anyone craving a good mix of leisure, culture, sport, and green spaces. It's a paradise whether you're pedaling a bike, rolling on skates, cruising on scooters, or showing off your skateboard skills. Of course, laid-back strolls and picturesque picnics are also highly encouraged.

Almost 4 kilometers of winding paths invite exploration, while the park’s lively amphitheater regularly pulses with the sounds of local and visiting bands, theatrical performances, and artistic showcases. At Pau-Brasil Square, visitors flock to popular events like the Organic Food Market, Antique Fair, and all kinds of artisan markets to find that perfect handmade treasure.

Families especially love the park's spacious lawns, practically begging everyone to forget life's rush and savor the tranquility of birdsong. Kids can burn off some energy on trampolines and inflatable playgrounds, while adults join yoga sessions, stretching exercises, and fitness activities led by friendly instructors scattered throughout the park.

Also not to miss is the Colabore Municipal Innovation Center: Salvador’s first-ever public coworking space, designed especially for micro-businesses, independent entrepreneurs (MEIs), startups, and creative minds working on impactful social solutions. It features 16 creatively repurposed shipping containers laid out on a 2,700-square-meter area near the park's parking lot. The setup is ideal for community interaction and entrepreneurial brainstorming-and, let’s face it, the whole thing is irresistibly Instagram-worthy.
