Location

The Calça Ferros Leisure Park is located in the town of Pedome, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão. It is situated in a quieter, greener area, close to the river. The surroundings offer a serene environment, ideal for those seeking moments of decompression amidst nature. An interesting aspect of its accessibility is that the road leading to the park follows the path of an old Roman road, adding a historical note to the visit.

A Transformed Past

This park has a peculiar history, having previously been a water intake and treatment station, known as Calça-Ferros. This former function is still perceptible in the environment today, notably through the characteristic sound of a small waterfall coming from the river's damming, a result of the old station's structure. The transformation of this site into a leisure park demonstrates a valorization of industrial heritage, adapting it to new purposes for public enjoyment and harmony with the natural landscape.

The Calça Ferros Leisure Park was designed for outdoor socializing and entertainment, being a well-equipped space for various activities. It features areas with tables and barbecue grills, ideal for picnics and group meals. For children, there is a playground, while adults can enjoy a street workout area, promoting outdoor physical exercise. It is a place that invites you to spend a relaxed afternoon, practice sports, or simply unwind.

Nature and Shared Moments

The presence of the river lends the park a naturally relaxing atmosphere, where the sound of water contributes to a sense of tranquility. The location is recognized as a meeting and celebration point, occasionally hosting events that reinforce its role as a leisure center for the community and visitors. It is a space that encourages family and social gatherings, offering a natural refuge for outdoor activities and the creation of memories.
