The park is named after the Camanducaia River, a significant water body in the region that flows through multiple municipalities in the state of São Paulo.
It was specifically designed as a 'linear' park to act as a buffer zone and ecological corridor between the river and the urbanized areas of Amparo.
The park's infrastructure facilitates flood management by maintaining permeable soil areas along the river bank.
Parque Linear Águas do Camanducaia is a sprawling riverside urban park located along the banks of the Camanducaia River in Amparo, São Paulo.
