The park was built on the site of the former residence of the British honorary consul in Curitiba, Leo Gomm.
The house within the park is a rare example of British-style architecture preserved in a city dominated by Southern European and Slavic architectural influences.
The park was created specifically to protect the original green space and botanical features surrounding the historic consulate building.
The land was integrated into the city’s park system to prevent the demolition of the historic property for commercial redevelopment.
Parque Gomm is a historic municipal park located on the former grounds of the British Consulate in the Batel neighborhood of Curitiba. The park functions as a memorial to the British influence in the region, centered around a restored traditional English house that once belonged to the Gomm family. The site preserves century-old trees and manicured lawns, serving as an urban green space for the local community. It features a children's playground, walking paths, and remnants of the original garden design. The area was officially inaugurated as a public memorial in 2012 following the preservation of the residence. It acts as a rare example of preserved green heritage within a high-density, upscale commercial district. The site maintains a quiet, residential character compared to the city's larger tourist parks.
