Situated in the city of Estarreja, in the Outeiro do Coval area, this park holds a strategic position. It bridges the urban fabric and the natural surroundings of the Antuã River, which lends its name to the space. Its location allows for easy access and serves as a connecting point between the city's vitality and the tranquility of the riverside landscape.
The park stretches along the banks of the Antuã River, offering vast grassy areas and diverse tree cover. Here, species such as willows and poplars stand out, contributing to a fresh and inviting environment. A notable feature is the widening of the river at a specific point, forming a true water mirror that enriches the landscape and invites contemplation. Visitors can enjoy walks along the wooden walkways that meander by the water, providing excellent opportunities to observe local fauna and flora, in close contact with nature.
This space was designed for the enjoyment of all ages, with a variety of infrastructures intended for active and passive leisure. The central square is a meeting and resting point, surrounded by vegetation. For those who like to exercise, there are outdoor fitness equipment, a trim trail, and even tracks for athletics and shot put. If the intention is to relax and socialize, the park offers well-equipped picnic areas with tables, benches, and even barbecues, ideal for a family picnic. The younger ones have a playground with safe equipment and a fun road safety circuit, where they can learn traffic rules in a playful way, with their bicycles or pedal cars.
With two decades of existence, the Estarreja Antuã Municipal Park has established itself as a vital element in the city's life. Over the years, it has undergone improvements that have reinforced its vocation as a place for leisure and socializing. This park is not just a green lung; it is a testament to the valorization of natural spaces in an urban context, promoting an active lifestyle and a healthier environment for its users.
