Parque Portugal, also known as Lagoa do Taquaral , is an urban public park in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. It has been set around a beautiful lagoon and adjacent wooded park, and is a large municipal entertainment and sports park, with a planetarium, a science museum, an indoor sports stadium and swimming pool, kart racing and model airplane areas, an open concert auditorium, floating caravel replica, a working historical tramway, pedalos, facilities for several types of sports, including a long track for running, cycling and walking, restaurants, etc. Taquaral means bamboo grove in Portuguese, probably because the lagoon was originally rimmed with this kind of plant . The name Portugal was given as a homage to the discoverers and immigrants of Brazil, the Portuguese people. The heritage tram line around the park opened in 1972 and uses four historic trams.
