Parque de Coqueiros, the largest leisure area on the continental promenade, will reopen this Saturday (11). The event will offer several family-friendly activities while people check out the site’s improvements.
Mayor Topasio Neto said: “The park has been completely renovated, maintaining its main characteristics and resolving some historical problems such as flooding. He thought about entertainment and leisure for the whole family.”
Revitalization of the park
The work, carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and carried out by the contractor Satélite Construcões e Engenharia, required an investment of R$4.2 million.
The sports ground now has two beach tennis courts, a volleyball court and a multifunctional sports ground. Two football fields were also renovated, one covered with synthetic grass and the other with natural grass.
The concrete path for pedestrians and cyclists was now made of asphalt, a more flexible and durable material. For children there was a playground with modern toys and rubber flooring.
Accessibility has been ensured by wooden decks and gazebos that allow easy movement and relaxation in the shade. Safe access roads to the paver were also built.
The gym has new equipment and the pet area has new toys. The park’s administration building and restrooms were also renovated.
To avoid flooding on high tide days (a recurring problem on the site), areas of land were raised and the drainage system was improved.
Raphael Hane, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, said: “We have made a number of improvements to the largest park we operate in the city, which is a destination for many users from all over Florianópolis.”
