The fauna counts around 111 species, including birds such as the southern lapwing, the shiny cowbird, the red ovenbird and the rufous-bellied thrush.

The local vegetation has landscaped areas with native and exotic species, such as guanandi, jacaranda, an extensive eucalyptus grove and fruit trees.

[1][2][3][4] After years in Paris visiting the Jardin d'Acclimatation, Carlos Botelho returned to Brazil in 1880 with the desire to build a similar area in the city of São Paulo.

In 1892, he founded the Aclimação Garden at Sítio do Tapanhoin, where he built a dairy farm, the first zoo in São Paulo, a cancer research center, the first silo in Latin America and the first riding club in Brazil.

Access to the garden was provided by two monumental cast iron gates: the main one faced Aclimação Avenue and the other Muniz de Souza Street.

Around 1930, the Botelho family began to subdivide the area, mainly the land of the private property attached to the park, which allowed for the creation of streets and boulevards.

Inside, the site has an acoustic shell, rest areas, drinking fountains, a bike rack with 15 spaces, 6 barbecue pits, 40 garbage cans, 49 benches, 3 kiosks, 3 toilets and bird feeders.

It also has a library operated by the Municipal Department of Culture, which offers a collection of 31,000 copies of textbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers, magazines and maps.
