Location

The Ribeirinho Park is located in the Símplicio neighborhood, in the locality of Odemira, integrated into the right bank of the Mira River, next to Largo do Cais. Its position is central in the village, offering direct contact with water and nature, without losing the connection to the surrounding urban environment. The presence of the Mira River gives it a distinct identity and a fundamental landscape integration for the area.

Nature and Riverside Landscape

This park constitutes a vast green area that embraces the Mira River, functioning as a notable riverside corridor. It is a crucial element in Odemira's landscape, establishing an ecological and cultural connection with the village. Its vegetation, typically riparian, contributes to a serene and distinct natural environment, where the river, due to its intrinsic characteristics, offers a landscape of unusual heritage value in urban contexts.

The Knowledge Trail

Along its approximately 650 meters, the Ribeirinho Park includes a linear thematic trail. This trail was conceived as a space that combines recreation and leisure with learning about the river's ecosystems. It allows visitors to deepen their knowledge about the biophysical aspects of the Mira River and its tributaries, particularly their natural importance, the diversity of fauna and flora that inhabit it, and the economic activities that historically sustain it. Along the way, you will find panels and signage that enrich the informative experience.

A Leisure Space

The park's garden design, of simple conception, invites moments of relaxation and landscape contemplation. The trail interconnects various spaces designed for leisure and staying, providing pleasant spots for a quiet stroll or simply to enjoy the local atmosphere. The existence of a pedestrian bridge over the river and parking areas facilitates access and enjoyment of this green space by visitors.
