Parks · Itaquera
At roughly 1.5 million sq m this is Sao Paulo's second-largest park, an old estate on the east side with lakes, eucalyptus stands and the cherry grove that hosts the annual Festa das Cerejeiras. Walking tracks and cycle paths run through the wooded sections.
The municipal regulation names dogs as permitted visitors, and the scale means long shaded walks well away from the weekend crowds.
Portaria SVMA 29/2024, the park's own use regulation, admits domestic dogs and cats provided they are on a collar and lead matched to their size, with muzzles required for pit bull, staffordshire, rottweiler and mastiff types; cats must travel in carriers and animals may not use human drinking fountains. Gates close at 20:00, extended to 22:00 in summer. Entry is free. Confidence: high.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
