Parque Vaca Brava is a smaller urban park in the upscale Jardim Goiás neighbourhood, surrounded by high-rise residential towers and the restaurants and bars that serve them. The park itself has a small lake, walking and cycling paths, and well-maintained lawns where groups gather for outdoor yoga and exercise classes in the early morning.
In the evening, the streets around the park become one of the more pleasant places to eat out in Goiânia — a concentration of restaurants with outdoor seating, bars serving craft beer and cocktails, and the low-key, prosperous atmosphere of a neighbourhood that is genuinely comfortable with itself. The park is a reliable window into how the Goianian middle class actually spends its leisure time.
