the city park with the odd name of
parque trevo das palmeiras
(onion palm park) or, just the 'big onion' to the locals (cebolăo)is one of the newest parks in a rapidly growing area of rio de
janeiron - barra da tijuca.
the park's boundaries are formed by the intersection of the
avenida das américas (avenue of the americas) and avenida ayrton
senna (ayrton senna avenue) -
two of the major
thoroughfares and access routes to the zona oeste (western zone).
