The Indigenous Nations Park is located in the urban area of Prosa, in Campo Grande/MS, Brazil. It was created with the expropriation by the State Government of several farms and lands located on the banks of the Prosa and Reveilleau streams, located in the urban perimeter comprised of the Afonso Pena and Mato Grosso avenues, and the Sóter stream.
By State Decree No. 7,354 of August 17, 1993, the park was born and renamed Parque das Nações Indígenas.
The park occupies an area of approximately 119 hectares and preserves an ecologically important area protected by the federal government. Its entire area is covered in grass and contains many native trees, such as ipês and some fruit trees. The Prosa stream, whose source is in the Parque dos Poderes nature preserve, runs through the entire length of the park, forming a large lake with a pier and bridges for crossing it.

This is a great place for family outings, picnics, relaxing and playing (there are playgrounds near both entrances). For those who like sports, this is the ideal place to go for walks, ride a bike (there is a bike path), and play volleyball, soccer, and basketball. The courts are located near the entrance on Antônio Maria Coelho street.

For those who like animals, the park is home for many birds, capybaras, coatis, etc. There are a lot of capybaras. If you come to the park around 4 pm, you may find them walking around, grazing... They are very, very cute. You can take close photos of them!!!

Bicycles are permitted for leisure use on the designated cycle path at low speeds. Access is only permitted via the Guarani (Afonso Pena Avenue) and Kadiwéu (Antônio Maria Coelho streets) entrances. Children under 10 years of age must be accompanied by a guardian. The park cycle path is 3,000 meters long.

The park also houses the Monument to the Indian People and the Museums of Contemporary Art and Indigenous Culture. I will post photos and information at a later date.
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is also located here. Animals that have been seized due to trafficking or accidents or were found in inappropriate places, such as homes, are rescued and brought here.
