风车公园

This park (except on Sundays) is a calm place to enjoy a green space in the middle of one of Porto Alegre's fancyest neighbourhoods. It is a good place for relaxing where friends go to enjoy a typical chimarrão. It is also a good place for short runs or walks. Kids have a nice playground. There's plenty of spots of green grass to lay down under a tree. Visitors should have no problem spending a couple of hours in this park.

A pleasant park to walk. Had a good time, taking nice pictures, watching people practicing sports, etc. A small park, but silent and beautiful. Recommended.

It is not a huge park, it is central. Excellent for a walk and meet friends just for loosing time with pleasure, summer and winter does not matter.

We stopped in Porto Allege as part of a cruise from Buenos Aires to Rio. The only reason I can imagine the ship docked here was so they could sell pricey excursions, because the town had no redeeming characteristics whatsoever.

Very well located, in the middle of the porchest area of Porto Alegre.Nice for a walk and run. Nice routes in the middle of the trees.Sometimes it is very crowded, specially during the weekends.

When in Porto Alegre take some time to visit the Moinhos de Vento Park, also known as "parcão' (= Big Park). Plenty of people exercising, families playing with their children, lots of good looking people and right in the middle of one of the best neighborhoods in Porto Alegre, the Moinhos de Vento area, with its restaurants, pubs, cafeterias and shops.Worth the visit!!!

It was interesting that this was one of the most highly rated attractions in Porto Alegre on TripAdvisor. One would not usually expect to see a city park in this position.To be honest, this relatively small park was not anything unusual to see from the perspective of a tourist. On the other hand, I can see the allure of this popular park to the residents of this attractive Porto Alegre neighborhood. I agree with a previous reviewer who characterized this park as simple but having a magnetic appeal. This is a great park for just hanging out on a weekend. I found it to be clean and quite safe. When I was there, it was a beautiful day and there were plenty of joggers, bikers, walkers, parents watching their kids play, owners walking their dogs and people just sitting in the sun enjoying the pleasant temperatures. The aroma of popcorn from the vendors scattered through the park filled the air to help make it a fun place to be.The two ponds were particularly fun as there was an island on one where the birds congregated. There were also lots of turtles including a couple that decided to cross the walking paths. There was also an interesting iron sculpture in the corner of the park created by Brazilian sculptor Carlos Tenius.Overall, this park is a very pleasant spot to spend some time. It is a great place to relax or take a walk or go for a run.

Nice, well kept park land good for morning exercise or walks in the middle of the best area in porto alegre

The park is very nice and you can go with your friends or your family if you want, it has a lot of this to do there

I spent an afternoon here with my one-year-old daughter. We really enjoyed this park, and it's a much nicer park than the nearby Farroupilha Park. There are a number of wide dirt paths that lead you around the park. The paths are well-maintained and were very clean on the day that we were there. There is a nice little play area for small children with a number of different swings, see-saws and such. A small lake in the middle of the park has ducks, geese and other waterfowl darting about. A terraced area of the park offers some nice views of the surrounding neighborhood and has a tall, modern sculpture that reminded me a little of Man Walking by Giacometti, only really big. We got caught in a giant rain storm in the middle of the park, and sought refuge in a bathroom under the terraces. I can tell you that the bathroom did not smell like roses, but we were very thankful to have a place where we could stay dry as we waited for the storm to pass.

It's a very beautiful small park in high society Moinhos de Vento area. Lovely ponds with cute basking turtles.

Located in a high class region of the city, you can see people all day walking, jogging or simply taking their pets to a walk.

A very traditional park for some jogging (quite crowded during weekends), it is very pleasant place to spend a sunny morning. There are kid toys, exercise equipment and a nice little lake with a windmill. Really worth a visit.

This green area is a small park in the "Moinhos de Ventos" neighbourhood in Porto Alegre.I went there with my husband and 2 daughters when visiting the city and staying in the nearby hotel Sheraton. It's a nice spot to exercise under the Brazilian sun.The park has a nickname "Parcao" and it is very popular specially among locals who live in the area, but also among people who come by car to then stop and enjoy running in the paths of the park.It is quite simple, but for some reason it has an appeal, maybe because of its beautiful small lake, or the old wind mill, which gives the name to the area. There are a great deal of birds, ducks and turtles nearby the lake. It has also a wonderful sculpture in iron made by the Brazilian sculptor Carlos Tenius.For me its a great size of park to exercise, because it's not that big, so I can go walking in the right measure for me.

This park is located in the same name Upscale Neighbourhood.Nice place to do your jogging and watch beautifull people
