Location

The City Park is located in the town of Mealhada, integrated into the northern part of the city.

This position provides a surrounding environment that allows visitors to enjoy an extensive green space, while maintaining convenient accessibility for those visiting Mealhada.

Origin and Natural Characterization

This park has a peculiar history in its genesis, as it resulted from the reconversion of former forest nurseries. This origin is visible in its structure and in the abundance of tree species and vegetation, which contribute to a diverse natural environment. The vast green space observed today reflects that past, offering a significant area for contact with nature within the urban perimeter.

Its trails and paths, approximately 1.6 kilometers long, are ideal for peaceful walks or for those looking for a running route. Additionally, the park has areas equipped for practicing various modalities, such as disc golf, taking advantage of its extension and configuration. There are also seating areas with benches and tables, perfect for a moment of rest or an outdoor gathering.
