The park is part of the larger 'Parque Várzea do Tietê' project, which spans multiple municipalities along the Tietê River.
The facility is intentionally integrated into the floodplains of the Tietê River to aid in regional flood mitigation.
It is managed in coordination with the DAEE (Department of Water and Electric Power) of the State of São Paulo.
The site occupies land that was reclaimed from industrial or neglected riverfront zones.
The Future Center for Leisure Jd. Helena, also known as Centro de Lazer do PVT (Parque Várzea do Tietê), functions as a significant public recreational space integrated with urban water management infrastructure. The park features dedicated facilities for sports, including courts and a skate park, alongside paved walking paths designed for community use. It is situated within the Várzea do Tietê park system, which aims to mitigate flooding while providing green zones for residents in the eastern zone of São Paulo. The area serves as a multifunctional urban lung, balancing recreational amenities with environmental preservation efforts. It provides a flat, accessible terrain suitable for joggers, cyclists, and families. The site is maintained through collaboration between local authorities and state water management agencies.

Wear sunscreen and a hat, as much of the park area is exposed with limited mature tree canopy.
Bring your own sports equipment like skateboards or basketballs, as rentals are not available on-site.
Check local weather reports, as the park is situated in a low-lying floodplain and can be affected by heavy rain.
Do not visit during or immediately after heavy rainfall due to the site's function as a floodplain.
Athletic footwear is recommended for using the skate park and jogging paths; keep noise levels moderate in nearby residential sections.
