This place promises to be a green space open to all, dedicated to sports, games, and relaxation. Let’s explore the challenges and countless possibilities of this park and create the ideal place for the life of this evolving neighborhood.

CurieuCity offers you a unique experience, as captivating for the young as it is for the elder. Through various artistic works and encounters with scientists, you will discover how science can arouse curiosity, wonder, and inspiration to shape the world around us.
