Natal City Park, or Parque da Cidade, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, was designed by Oscar Niemeyer. The article gives no start, completion or opening dates, and no client or style. The park covers 64 hectares and is the second-largest park in Natal after Parque das Dunas. It sits in an area of dunes, like most of the city.
A central tower 148 feet (45 m) tall houses the city Memorial, which has exhibits on Natal's history and development. The park also has eco-trails, jogging lanes, a library, an auditorium and an orchidarium.
The article describes the park as aimed at environmental preservation and education. It says the park filters rainwater, helps keep a thermal balance, shelters fauna and flora, and adds green space. It gives no hours or fees.
