Location

The Lordelo Leisure Park is located in the town of Lordelo, within the municipality of Guimarães. This vast green space extends over an area of approximately 14 hectares, taking advantage of the natural topography of a valley. Its location offers a quiet and accessible refuge, deeply integrated into the parish's landscape, being situated in the basin of the Selho River.

Natural Environment and Design

This park stands out for its approach that values and integrates the natural and pre-existing characteristics of the land. It is possible to observe the careful maintenance of elements such as rock formations and native vegetation, which contribute to its visual and environmental identity. The park's design invites exploration and the serene enjoyment of nature, with a harmonious integration of its various facilities.

Leisure and Outdoor Activities

For those seeking active leisure moments or simply a place to relax, the park offers a variety of options. A network of well-laid-out pedestrian paths winds through different environments, from large clearings with open meadows to more densely wooded areas. Visitors will also find a cycle path for bike rides and maintenance circuits equipped for sports practice. For the younger ones, there is a playground, and for urban sports enthusiasts, a skatepark. Numerous benches and loungers distributed throughout the park invite rest and serene observation of the environment.

Biodiversity and Water Resources

The presence of water is a striking feature of this space, with a serene lake gracing one of the clearings and a local watercourse, one of the tributaries of the Selho River, crossing the park, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. This abundance of water and the extensive existing vegetation form a rich habitat for local fauna. The park is home to a remarkable diversity of tree species, shrubs, and plants, as well as various species of birds, amphibians, and insects, which contribute to the ecological balance and the experience of those who visit it.
