The São Faustino Leisure Park is located in the locality of São Faustino, in the Pinheirinho area, belonging to the municipality of Guimarães. This space is situated in an area that offers a broad perspective of the surrounding landscape, revealing a direct connection with the natural environment that envelops it.
This park was born from the transformation of land that, for decades, had been forgotten and dominated by vegetation. It represents a notable example of the recovery of a rural space that was abandoned, benefiting from a careful project involving elements of architecture and engineering. Its creation is the result of dedicated effort, converting an underutilized area into a valuable place for the community and for those who visit it.
With an area of approximately 2.5 hectares, the park stands out for its vast green areas, where native vegetation plays a central role. Natural watercourses flow serenely between the slopes and escarpments, contributing to the authenticity of the environment. Throughout the park, there are elevated points that function as viewpoints, providing unobstructed views of the rural landscape and natural hillsides, inviting contemplation of nature in its purest state.
The São Faustino Leisure Park offers several amenities designed for fun and outdoor activities. For children, there is an adapted playground. There is also a specific area for picnics, ideal for meals with family or friends. Additionally, visitors can enjoy gym equipment and an area dedicated to more traditional sports, promoting an active lifestyle in a pleasant setting.
