Ecologico do Cocó Park

The city's largest green area, near the Iguatemi-mall. No lawns, but a nice walk in the woods. It is a conservation area, a natural life state park in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. It is named after the river that forms the mangrove biome, the Cocó River.

In Sierra Aratanha, Pacatuba city rises the Pacatuba creek, which is called Hawk Creek a bit ahead. Only after the 4th  Road Ring in the Ancuri neighborhood, the stream receives the name of Rio Coco, which starts the Park.

Currently, with an area of 1.155,2 hectares the park has three areas for structured leisure activities, sports and culture. Park Adhail Barreto was the first area to promote the use of the area of the River Coco.

The Parque Ecológico do Cocó is an urbanized area administered by the Municipality of Fortaleza, Center for Environmental Awareness, is has a playground, jogging track, ecological trails,  and promotes cultural and artistic shows, sports competitions, concerts as well as environmental education events.

The urbanized area of Tancredo Neves was the last intervention in the area of the park. After removal of families in areas of the park, the state government implemented in two local sports fields, football fields, walking trails, bike paths and play areas. In addition, there are boat trips, hiking and other activities tracked, from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm.
