The name 'Seringal' refers to the specific groves of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) that drove the 19th-century Amazon rubber boom.
The park serves as an educational bridge between the history of Brazilian labor and the current conservation of the Amazon rainforest.
The location is situated in the Coqueiro district, an area transitioning from rural heritage to urban residential development in Ananindeua.
The site layout is specifically designed to simulate the physical working conditions and geography once inhabited by rubber tappers.
