CTG Charrua
Recently completed the work around the Centro de Tradição Gaúcha (CTG) Charrua, the place is around 5 km long, a great place to run.

Gramadao
Another place to run that joins a park is Gramadão, a place for all family and friends to get together. Its surroundings are only 1 km long and one of its biggest advantages is precisely the practicality of the route.
With the renovation of the site still in progress, the project promises to further entertain runners who want something more dynamic and familiar when completed. As expected, it becomes another advantage, as it allows you to take other people to enjoy the open space while running nearby.
In addition, it also has a clean and organized public bathroom. If that wasn't enough, after the renovation, Gramadão will also have a variety of foods to be sold on site to give it that energy.
