One of the greatest attractions of the neighborhood is the 'sports corridor' which is one of the largest recreational expanses on the island, containing bike paths, sports fields, playgrounds and kiosks.

Praça Papai Noel (Santa Claus Square), is another celebrated local, containing a playground, benches and games tables.
