The Municipal Sports and Leisure Park is located in the northern area of the town of Mértola, specifically in the area known as Moinho. This space was designed on varied topography, characterized by a system of valleys and hills, which influenced its organization on different levels. Its position offers careful integration with the surrounding landscape of the locality.
This park was conceived as a multipurpose venue, intended to provide leisure and well-being activities for all age groups. Its structure allows visitors to enjoy an outdoor environment, contributing to the quality of life and environmental balance in Mértola's urban landscape.
In the Municipal Sports and Leisure Park, visitors will find a variety of facilities for different interests. There is a playground with contemporary design equipment, a space dedicated to mini-golf, and a fitness circuit for those looking to stay in shape. For seniors, there is a specific rehabilitation circuit. The park also includes a sports area and a space for practicing traditional games, allowing for diverse entertainment and physical exercise options.
The park's design integrates into the landscape through a system of terraces, defined by retaining walls, which create spaces with distinct functionalities. This arrangement is not only functional but also gives the place a visually inviting appearance. There is a viewpoint area that offers views of the surrounding landscape and allows for a glimpse of Mértola Castle. Furthermore, the presence of dense tree cover, composed of native species, moderates the climate, providing a pleasant environment and a refuge of tranquility.
