On the banks of the lagoon, the public can find a bike path, jogging track, playground, sports courts and a small gastronomic center with kiosks offering Italian and Japanese food, as well as live music in the evening. Annex is the Catacomb Park, which exhibits 30 sculptures of Brazilian and foreign artists in the open air.
