Parque Garota de Ipanema

Parque Garota de Ipanema

This small park is between Arpoador and the Ipanema area. It has a small kids play area but it looked rather sketchy in the daytime. We used it as a shortcut to get to the Copacabana area.

Small and nice

This is a small and nice park between Copacabana and Ipanema. During the day it seems safe, but during the evening you better avoid it.

Meh, not much

There isn't much to see in this park except for a few playground equipment and exercise stations. The entire park has a solid sand floor which is very uninviting, though a few grassy areas can be had...

This was a lucky find on our walk along the beaches of Rio. Park Garota was an oasis between Copacobana and Ipanena beaches and a pleasant change of atmosphere. Definitely worth going.

Cute little park leading to Arporador.
