The park features 10 distinct dinosaur species, including the T-Rex and Triceratops, with some models reaching up to 5 meters in height.
The sculptures are constructed with realistic textures and skin patterns to mimic prehistoric appearances.
The site was developed as part of a larger project to revitalize the urban wetlands and lagoons of Salvador's Costa Azul district.
The lagoon environment includes floating aquatic plants and preserved riparian vegetation that supports local urban bird populations.
