The park was built on lands previously owned by the State Secretariat of Agriculture, which functioned as an experimental farm.
The water bodies within the park act as retention basins to help manage local drainage during heavy tropical rainfalls.
It is home to over 150 species of trees, including native Cerrado biome vegetation.
The park's design includes a specialized lighting system installed to allow for nocturnal usage by residents.
It features a dedicated memorial to Iris Fingerel, a local influential figure in urban planning.
Parque Flamboyant, officially named Parque Flamboyant Iris Fingerel, is a 125,000-square-meter urban park located in the Jardim Goiás district of Goiânia. The landscape features two expansive artificial lakes fed by natural springs, surrounded by walking paths and tropical vegetation. It is built on the site of a former agricultural research station and was inaugurated in 2007. The park serves as a primary leisure hub for the local neighborhood, integrating residential development with preserved green space. Features include a playground, multiple exercise stations, and a dedicated 1,500-meter running track. The site remains a prominent example of sustainable urban planning within the state of Goiás.
