Parque Natural da Água Vermelha is a 20,313-square-meter urban park located in the Jardim Europa neighborhood of Sorocaba. The park features a central lake that serves as a primary hub for local bird populations. It maintains a specific focus on environmental education and conservation within an urban setting. The grounds include native vegetation, walking paths, and a dedicated library for environmental resources. Visitors can observe various species of aquatic birds and fish in the pond area. The space functions as an ecological oasis designed to provide both leisure and environmental awareness to the surrounding residential community.
The wooden bridge overlooking the central pond offers the best vantage point for water-level nature photography.
Bring insect repellent as the proximity to the pond can attract mosquitoes.
