Villa-Lobos Park is a park located in the western part of São Paulo, in the Alto dos Pinheiros neighborhood, next to the Pinheiros River. Its recent creation is motivated in 1987 by the centenary of the birth of the famous Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. To celebrate his memory, an area of almost 750,000m², a former rubbish tip and open-air garbage dump, was elected for the construction of a leisure, culture and sports park. One of the last large urban voids in São Paulo was thus converted into a modern public park. The new park was designed by the Paulista architect Decio Tozzi, with a music city theme, honoring the composer. Its center was conceived as a musical oasis with different infrastructures organized around music and culture. The park also hosts many sport facilities and its perimeter follows a new bicycle path more than 3km long. Finally, several species of trees and vegetation have been introduced creating a large biodiverse forest of about 37,000 trees.
