Location

Quinta do Ega Park is located in the town of Vagos, integrated into the Quinta do Ega area. Its position is notable for its proximity to the town centre and, simultaneously, for its direct connection to nature, as it is situated adjacent to the banks of the River Boco.

This setting offers a seamless transition between the urban environment and the riverside landscape, allowing visitors an experience of contact with nature without significant displacement from the residential core.

Natural Environment and Biodiversity

This park is characterized by its natural landscape, which merges with the presence of the River Boco. The park's vast grassy areas gradually expand into the wilder zones along the riverbanks, where diverse flora can be observed. Notable features include patches of rush and reed beds, which provide different shades and textures to the scenery, and the presence of species such as the Sea Rush.

The riparian vegetation plays an important role in the local ecosystem, serving as a habitat for avifauna and other aquatic animals. With a keen eye, visitors can discover the richness of species that inhabit this natural space.

Leisure and Riverside Path

Quinta do Ega Park offers a spacious and pleasant area for outdoor enjoyment. Its extensive grassy areas are ideal for moments of rest and relaxation. For those seeking more dynamic activities, the park provides an area with outdoor fitness equipment and a playground, suitable for the little ones.

A wooden boardwalk winds along the high marshlands of the River Boco's banks, inviting a more in-depth exploration of the natural area. This path allows for close observation of the peculiar vegetation, the intertwining channels, and, at times, the footprints left by various birds, mammals, and small crustaceans in the mud. At one end of the park, a small viewpoint, with benches, offers a panoramic and tranquil view over this beautiful riverside environment.
