Preservation - Created in 1993, Utinga Park is one of the largest and most important spaces for environmental conservation in urban areas of the Northern Region. With over 1,300 hectares of protected forest, the space is home to emblematic species of Amazonian fauna, such as sloths, monkeys, and various birds, in addition to two important water sources that supply Belém: the Bolonha and Água Preta lakes. The ecological trails, the bike path circuit, and the lookout at Lago da Princesa are among the main attractions.
“Utinga State Park is an achievement of the population of Belém, a space that combines conservation, leisure, and environmental education. We constantly work to ensure that it is safe, welcoming, and has adequate infrastructure to receive all audiences,” informs Júlio Meyer, manager of the Administrative Region of Belém of Ideflor-Bio, responsible for the UC.
In addition to being a privileged space for contact with nature, Utinga State Park plays a strategic role in the conservation of urban biodiversity and in the quality of life of the population. Over the years, it has consolidated itself as a symbol of belonging, appreciation of the Amazon, and encouragement of healthy and sustainable activities.
