The activity consists of a walk through the area where the Morro Grande Municipal Park is currently under construction, located between the districts of Brasil\u00e2ndia, Freguesia do \u00d3, and Pirituba, in the North Zone of S\u00e3o Paulo. The visit aims to bring participants closer to the local history and community mobilizations that have shaped the struggle for the establishment of this public space, a significant environmental, historical, and cultural heritage site for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located in a remnant of Atlantic Forest, the over 600,000 m\u00b2 site boasts springs and rugged topography, affording views of the entire surrounding area. The large central void, a result of mineral exploration at the now-defunct Morro Grande Quarry, was transformed into a lake and, more recently, into a subway maneuvering yard. Old buildings still stand on the site, legacy of the quarry's operational period, such as the Santa Clara de Assis Chapel, the Weaving Mill, the movie theater, and the workers' housing. Congo Road\u2014currently Elisio Teixeira Leite Avenue\u2014adjacent to the park, also carries a memory of enslaved people who came to the region. This architectural, landscape, and intangible complex is present in the collective memory of the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morro Grande Park is listed as an urban park under planning in the Strategic Master Plan of the City of S\u00e3o Paulo (Law 16.050\/2014), and in June 2023, the Public Utility Decree was signed, providing for the expropriation of the land for acquisition by the municipality. This milestone reinforces the importance of local mobilizations that, over the years, have pressured the government to implement the project and protect it from invasions and environmental crimes, to which the area is subject. The park project is under development and plans a final participatory workshop later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
