Nova Tamandaré Linear Park will be delivered with a waterway terminal and consolidates as a new space for leisure and mobility in Belém
Urban project integrates areas for socializing, culture, and transportation, promoting quality of life and the recovery of urban memory in the Old City
The Government of the State of Pará will deliver the Nova Tamandaré Linear Park in the Old City neighborhood of Belém next Monday (3). The project transforms the historic avenue into a complete hub for leisure, culture, mobility, and socializing, with reconstructed spaces that recover the memory of the capital and promote the qualified occupation of urban space.
With the construction of eight kiosks, contemplative areas, bike lanes, playgrounds, pet spaces, outdoor gyms, and the urbanization of two squares, the park covers nine blocks that have received landscaping and well-being in one of the most traditional regions of Belém.
Population celebrates new urban landscape
A resident of the Old City for 62 years, Socorro Oliveira celebrates the delivery of the new space. “This project is very representative, bringing more security and comfort for those who live or visit the area. This investment will enhance the Old City and bring more quality of life for everyone,” she stated.
Student Ana Beatriz Coelho, who lives on Avenida Tamandaré itself, also recognizes the positive impact of the requalification. “The project has brought more life to the neighborhood. Even before this reconstruction, people were already exercising in the surroundings. Now, that number will only grow and strengthen socializing. We need to occupy the city more and more,” she emphasized.
Modern infrastructure and integration with water transport
According to the head of the State Department of Public Works (Seop), Ruy Cabral, the Nova Tamandaré Linear Park represents a complete urban requalification. “The location has undergone a process of modernization, restoration, adaptation, and improvements. In addition to the new spaces for leisure, culture, and socializing, we are urbanizing and integrating the region with a public facility that, together with the waterway terminal, will ensure more infrastructure and quality of life for the population,” he explained.
The works began in April 2024, with the installation of five gates in the canal and the gradual removal of the barriers, marking the beginning of urban transformation in the city center.
Tourist River Terminal is a legacy for mobility in Belém
Adjacent to the park, the Tamandaré Tourist River Terminal is one of the main infrastructure projects that are part of the legacies of the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30), which will be held in Belém in the coming weeks. The terminal has 1,300 m² of built area, distributed over two floors.
With a capacity to serve up to 500 passengers per day, the structure will have a covered boarding and disembarking area, a lookout, a restaurant, 12 administrative offices, as well as monitoring cameras, a solar energy system, and access via metal ramps, floating structures, and walkways.
Culture and memory valued in the new Tamandaré
The Nova Tamandaré project also reinforces the link between historical heritage and urban present. The director of the Department of Historical, Artistic, and Cultural Heritage of the State Department of Culture (DPhac/Secult), Rebeca Ribeiro, highlights the symbolic value of the project.
“The goal is to revitalize the avenue as a space for memory, leisure, and socializing, preserving the history and hydrography of Belém, in addition to benefiting the local ecosystem.”
