The Córrego Grande Linear Park is configured by the implementation of low-impact structures in a preservation area, consisting of a 30-meter retreat from the watercourse banks.

The park allows public enjoyment of this natural space, safeguarding the maintenance of the fauna and flora, contemplates the creation of appropriation points that are interconnected by a walking track and cycle path that runs through the entire length of the stream, creating an opportunity for a transversal connection between localities bordering the course of the water crossing the limits of the road system.

The project's guiding concepts are:

The main element is the large bridge for cyclists and pedestrians. Our proposal to exclude the passage of motorized vehicles was approved by the government, puts human beings first, and prioritizes active transport. The bridge, with wooden floors and corten steel railing, has wide headboards, in order to create space for large gatherings, such as musical performances and fairs. It's a square bridge.

Leisure equipment was included in the more open areas, preserving the space already occupied by nature. The materials chosen are natural and keep the soil permeable. The entire area that was degraded was planted with native trees.

We emphasize the direct connections of private buildings with the park. This strategy provides greater ownership by the local community. Areas that would be the back of the buildings became fronts for the park. Thus, the public space gained more open doors in its direction and consequently more security.

In the long project process, many meetings reconciled ideas, uniting the public power, the community, and the entrepreneurs of the new neighboring buildings. The community actively participated, and their voice and strength consolidated a Conduct Adjustment Term, in which the execution of the park was defined. The construction companies accepted the public-private partnership and paid the costs of carrying out these works. The developed project revitalizes and enriches the urban fabric, promotes the appropriation of public use, and generates dynamism in the region.
