Natural Environment
Despite its modest size, the park is home to a variety of native tree species, including Hackberry, Litsea glutinosa, Syzygium levinei, and others. Several Sterculia lanceolata trees line the forest edge, producing vibrant red seed pods with black seeds during summer and autumn, creating a unique seasonal spectacle.
Scenic Views
Historically, the hilltop offered views of the former 'Hac Sa Wan Beach'. Today, visitors can overlook the Areia Preta district and Rua dos Pescadores area.
