About Parque dos Atletas

Parque dos Atletas sits in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park complex, a public leisure park that has hosted world-class events and athletic-leisure activities. Covering about 150,000 m², this expansive venue previously welcomed major festivals like Rock in Rio and served as a versatile space for community and private events. While the city’s 2021 legacy plan doesn’t include it as a primary redevelopment site, the park continues to operate through private partnerships, offering a flexible setting for large-scale gatherings.

Whether you’re planning a concert, festival, or a major sporting or cultural event, Parque dos Atletas provides an open-space layout with adaptable infrastructure. With no fixed seating chart, seating arrangements are determined by event organizers, making it essential to coordinate with event hosts for seating and accessibility. The venue is easily accessible by road, transit, and nearby accommodations, helping attendees plan a seamless experience.

Parking is available with the main entrance at Portão 11 (Gate 11) on Avenida Salvador Allende. For those using public transit, a nearby BRT station serves the area, adding another convenient option to reach events at Parque dos Atletas. The surrounding Recreio/Rio Centro area offers a cluster of hotels and restaurants, making it convenient for out-of-town guests to stay and dine nearby. If you’re visiting for a concert or festival, secure your seats or spaces early through our trusted partners. We’ve got you covered with reliable access, up-to-date event details, and recommended nearby amenities to enhance your experience.

For a smoother trip, consider planning transportation in advance and coordinating with event organizers for any special arrangements.
