The local soil and climate conditions in Paraná allow these Australian-native trees to reach heights exceeding 20 meters within the park grounds.
The Bosque das Grevíleas is a significant urban environmental site in Maringá, designated as a Permanent Preservation Area. The site covers approximately 4.5 hectares of land dedicated to the conservation of Grevillea robusta trees. It features internal exercise paths and walking trails integrated into a dense forest canopy. The park functions as an important green corridor within the city's urban grid, providing microclimate regulation for the surrounding Zona 05 neighborhood. Native and exotic flora are maintained to support local urban biodiversity. Its landscape is characterized by the distinct foliage and seasonal orange blossoms of the Grevillea genus.
