风车公园印象

  I spent an afternoon here with my one-year-old daughter. We really enjoyed this park, and it's a much nicer park than the nearby Farroupilha Park. There are a number of wide dirt paths that lead you around the park. The paths are well-maintained and were very clean on the day that we were there. There is a nice little play area for small children with a number of different swings, see-saws and such. A small lake in the middle of the park has ducks, geese and other waterfowl darting about. A terraced area of the park offers some nice views of the surrounding neighborhood and has a tall, modern sculpture that reminded me a little of Man Walking by Giacometti, only really big. We got caught in a giant rain storm in the middle of the park, and sought refuge in a bathroom under the terraces. I can tell you that the bathroom did not smell like roses, but we were very thankful to have a place where we could stay dry as we waited for the storm to pass.

  A very traditional park for some jogging (quite crowded during weekends), it is very pleasant place to spend a sunny morning. There are kid toys, exercise equipment and a nice little lake with a windmill. Really worth a visit.

  When in Porto Alegre take some time to visit the Moinhos de Vento Park, also known as "parcão' (= Big Park). Plenty of people exercising, families playing with their children, lots of good looking people and right in the middle of one of the best neighborhoods in Porto Alegre, the Moinhos de Vento area, with its restaurants, pubs, cafeterias and shops.Worth the visit!!!

  This green area is a small park in the "Moinhos de Ventos" neighbourhood in Porto Alegre.I went there with my husband and 2 daughters when visiting the city and staying in the nearby hotel Sheraton. It's a nice spot to exercise under the Brazilian sun.The park has a nickname "Parcao" and it is very popular specially among locals who live in the area, but also among people who come by car to then stop and enjoy running in the paths of the park.It is quite simple, but for some reason it has an appeal, maybe because of its beautiful small lake, or the old wind mill, which gives the name to the area. There are a great deal of birds, ducks and turtles nearby the lake. It has also a wonderful sculpture in iron made by the Brazilian sculptor Carlos Tenius.For me its a great size of park to exercise, because it's not that big, so I can go walking in the right measure for me.

  This park (except on Sundays) is a calm place to enjoy a green space in the middle of one of Porto Alegre's fancyest neighbourhoods. It is a good place for relaxing where friends go to enjoy a typical chimarrão. It is also a good place for short runs or walks. Kids have a nice playground. There's plenty of spots of green grass to lay down under a tree. Visitors should have no problem spending a couple of hours in this park.

  Located in a high class region of the city, you can see people all day walking, jogging or simply taking their pets to a walk.
