The park is named after the Gralha Azul (Cyanocorax caeruleus), an iconic bird species of the Southern Brazilian Araucaria forests.
Its location in the Itinga 2 district places it in a region characterized by its proximity to the BR-101 highway corridor, serving as a transit point for travelers moving along the Santa Catarina coast.
The facility is designed to serve as a community hub, often hosting local recreational events and family celebrations.
The park's architecture focuses on open-air swimming and recreational water play rather than high-intensity thrill rides.
