The Jardim dos Campos is located in a central area of Ovar, specifically in the Praça (Square) area, a pivotal point of the city. Its position makes it easily accessible, presenting itself as a green space integrated into the urban fabric, inviting passers-by to a tranquil break in the heart of the locality.
This garden represents a distinctive element in the daily life of Ovar, functioning as a landmark for residents and visitors exploring the city on foot, offering a serene environment and a pleasant landscape in the urban center.
The Jardim dos Campos project was designed by architect Sidónio Pardal, a recognized figure in green space planning. Its creation followed the tradition of romantic and naturalistic parks, a characteristic that is evident in how the space integrates and invites interaction with nature.
This approach favors a design that simulates the natural landscape, yet with careful organization, providing winding paths and secluded spots that promote leisure and social interaction, in an aesthetic that combines spontaneous beauty with the functionality of a public garden.
The Jardim dos Campos is notable for its exemplary maintenance and the exuberance of its flora. Throughout the year, it is possible to observe a wide range of colorful flowers adorning the flowerbeds, with roses playing a prominent role in the garden's chromatic composition.
The diversity and arrangement of the floral species contribute to a visually appealing and fragrant environment, creating an atmosphere that changes with the seasons but always retains its charm, offering a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy.
More than a simple green space, the Jardim dos Campos plays an important role in the social life of Ovar. Its central configuration and various nooks with benches invite people to rest, read a book, or simply observe the movement.
It is a versatile place, suitable for moments of individual tranquility, informal meetings, or family enjoyment. Its welcoming nature makes it a landmark for the community, where one can relax and appreciate natural beauty in an urban setting.
