The São Paulo State Government, through the Secretariat for Investment Partnerships (SPI), will hold public hearings on July 16 and 17 to present the concession project for six urban parks in São Paulo. The objective is to detail the proposed improvements and ensure public participation in the development of the initiative, which is part of the São Paulo State Investment Partnership Program (PPI-SP) and aims to improve the management, operation, maintenance, and infrastructure of these public spaces.
The first session will be held in person and streamed live on the official YouTube channel of the São Paulo Government, on July 16 at 11 a.m., at the headquarters of the State Highway Department (DER), located at Avenida do Estado, 777, Ponte Pequena neighborhood. The second hearing will take place exclusively online, on July 17 at 11 a.m., and will also be broadcast live on the Government’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/governosp). The access link, rules, participation guidelines, and additional information will be made available in advance on the SPI website:

Park revitalization
The six parks included in the project are currently managed by the Parks Coordination Office, part of the Secretariat for Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics (SEMIL). They are: Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns Youth Park, Manoel Pitta Belém State Park, Tietê Ecological Park – Engenheiro Goulart Unit, Vila Jacuí Park, Maria Cristina Hellmeister de Abreu Park, and Itaim Biacica Park.
The concession model proposes a 30-year contract and estimates more than R$ 144.7 million in investments over the period, with R$ 60.4 million expected in the first four years alone. Planned improvements include the revitalization of existing structures, expansion of leisure areas, creation of sports facilities, and implementation of new services focused on public well-being.
