Situated in the Ribeira da Vila area, next to the national road N2, this park follows the course of the stream that crosses Vila de Rei. It is just a few minutes from the town center, in a flat area that invites quiet strolls along the paths bordering the water. The surroundings combine well-maintained green spaces with the light silhouette of residential buildings and the discreet presence of road infrastructure, offering a meeting point between nature and the urban environment.
The highlight is a small grass amphitheater, arranged in a semicircle, whose stepped design invites moments of contemplation or informal performances. At the entrance, a platform covered with a wooden roof contrasts with the surrounding greenery, reinforcing the balance between the built and the natural. The stream bed, flanked by small trees and stone walls, adds a soft landscape element: the sound of the water, sometimes visible between the vegetation, makes the space cooler during the warmer months.
A network of gravel pedestrian paths crosses wide lawns and wooded areas. Young trees, planted in wooden squares, create intermittent shade, while low lighting poles allow for extended visits at dusk. Stone-carved benches and garden areas suggest a calm pace for visiting, ideal for those seeking a non-intrusive setting, where the sound of the walkways and the singing of birds provide company.
