In late August 2026, local recreational initiatives were being launched in Brazil to provide leisure spaces for children. In São Gonçalo, the Caravana de Arte e Lazer offered free activities including workshops and music, while in Blumenau, the Ramiro Ruediger Park playground reopened following maintenance.

By mid-September, reports emerged regarding the deterioration of public recreational spaces in Penedo and Blumenau. In Penedo, the Rocheira sports court suffered from damaged flooring, broken gates, and illegal trash dumping. In Blumenau, residents criticized Cirilo Theiss Square for broken playground equipment and unsafe structures, such as exposed metal and decaying wood. The Blumenau city government has stated it is preparing a complete renovation of the site.
