Brasília National Park, also known as Água Mineral, is the oldest park in the capital. It was opened in 1961 with the aim of preserving highly relevant natural ecosystems, as well as enabling scientific research and ecological tourism. With an area of 43 thousand hectares, its main attraction is the natural water pools, formed by the removal of sand from the site for the construction of Brasília. But Água Mineral also attracts many sports enthusiasts who seek contact with nature, with two trails: Capivara (hiking) and Cristal Águas (hiking and mountain biking). In addition, the park has abundant and diverse fauna, where it is possible to find rare or endangered species, such as the maned wolf, giant armadillo, giant anteater, porcupine, among others. Access to the park is paid and is via Estrada Parque Indústria e Abastecimento (Via EPIA). Tickets are sold on site.

Opened in 1994, Olhos d'Água Park covers 21 hectares and is located in Asa Norte between blocks 413 and 414. Its implementation was an initiative of the local residents themselves, who mobilized to preserve the green area that was constantly being degraded by garbage dumps and the construction of irregular housing. Today, the park is home to fish, reptiles, birds, small mammals, as well as fragments of gallery forest and cerrado vegetation. For the leisure of visitors, there is a 2 km long walking trail, children's playground, gymnastics circuit, Community Meeting Point (PEC), lawn for sunbathing, picnics and much more. The park is visited by an average of 1,100 people per day, a number that doubles on weekends. Its access gates are on the banks of L1 Norte, near blocks 214 and 215 in Asa Norte. Free admission.

Located between the Noroeste and the North Wing, the Burle Marx Park, conceived from the “Brasília revisited” project, conceived by Lúcio Costa in 1985, officially launching the guidelines for the implementation of the new neighborhood, is located in one of the largest areas of the cerrado, with a total green area of 280.67 hectares. It is an important ecological corridor between the Brasília National Park (popularly known as Água Mineral) and Lake Paranoá. But, in addition to its importance for environmental preservation, the park was also designed to promote leisure and entertainment, sports and socialization, positively impacting the quality of life of its visitors and the appreciation of the entire Northwest region of Brasília.

The first stage of its construction was completed in 2022 and includes a leisure island, a multi-sports court, two tennis courts, one grass court, a children's playground, a walking track, a cycle path, bathrooms, as well as a sidewalk connecting Asa Norte to Noroeste, to be built on site.
