Jardim São Paulo-Ayrton Senna (São Paulo Metro)
metro station in São Paulo, Brazil
Jardim São Paulo–Ayrton Senna, originally known only as Jardim São Paulo, is a metro station on São Paulo Metro Line 1-Blue, located in the district of Santana, in São Paulo. It was opened by Governor Mário Covas on 29 April 1998, along with stations Tucuruvi and Parada Inglesa, in the Line 1 north expansion project, initiated in 1996.
Characteristics
It is a buried station with an apparent concrete structure and island platform located under the distribution mezzanine. It has openings for natural lighting in the ambient of the platform and a different landscaping project, with the presence of gardens on the level of the lobby, where the tickets offices and the gates are. The project of the station gave to the architect Meire Gonçalves Selli an award in the 2nd Iberoamerican Architecture and Civile Engineering Biennal of Madrid in 2000.
It has 7,355 square metres (79,170 sq ft) of constructed area and capacity of 20,000 passengers per hour during the peak hours.
It has two exits, both located inside Domingos Luís Park and has access for people with disabilities.
Renaming
In 2009, State Deputy Campos Machado (PTB), proposed a project for the renaming of the station from "Jardim São Paulo" to "Jardim São Paulo-Ayrton Senna". Senna, the legendary Formula 1 racing driver who was killed in a high-speed accident at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, was born and raised in the region of Jardim São Paulo. In 2011, the renaming was approved by the State Government, and such change was implemented since October of that year.

Why this record matters
“Jardim São Paulo-Ayrton Senna (São Paulo Metro)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jardim, Paulo-Ayrton and Senna provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5244694. Authority coordinates are -23.492, -46.617. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998, 1996, 2000 and 2009.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
