Vale das Flores Linear Park is located in the urban area of Vale das Flores, integrated into the city of Coimbra. This green space has an elongated shape, extending for about one kilometer through the urban fabric. It is strategically positioned, marking the southern end of Bairro Norton de Matos and situated in the vicinity of a significant commercial area and a university hub.
Its linear structure connects Rua D. Pedro de Cristo and Estrada da Beira, functioning as an accessible and inviting corridor within the residential and services area where it is located.
Created in late 2001, Vale das Flores Linear Park offers the community and visitors a green refuge in an urban context. It is not a traditional park, but rather a continuous strip of landscaped, lawn, and tree-lined areas, designed for outdoor enjoyment and the promotion of an active lifestyle.
The general atmosphere is calm and inviting, with areas designed for rest and contemplation, punctuated by various facilities that cater to the diverse interests of its visitors.
One of the park's main attractions is its paths. There is a dedicated pedestrian circuit, ideal for relaxing walks, approximately one kilometer in length. Parallel to this, there is a specific cycle path, a corridor over one kilometer long, signposted and with distinct dark asphalt paving for cycling or the use of other soft mobility means.
These paths, mostly flat with only a slight incline at one end, make the park accessible for people of all ages and fitness levels, inviting movement and contact with the outdoor space.
Vale das Flores Linear Park was designed with various areas dedicated to active leisure. Younger visitors have access to a well-equipped playground for safe play. For those looking to stay fit or engage in informal sports, the park includes several facilities.
There are specific zones such as a concrete-floored basketball court, an artificial turf football field, and a multi-purpose area particularly popular for skateboarding. There is also a tower structure with ropes for climbing, offering varied options for fun and physical exercise in a public environment.
Beyond its function as a daily leisure space, Vale das Flores Linear Park frequently serves as a venue for various events. Its configuration and accessibility make it suitable for hosting sports initiatives, cultural events, or other community-based activities, revitalizing the area and providing opportunities for outdoor socializing.
The park is open to the general public with no time restrictions, allowing free use at any time of day, which reinforces its role as a central public space in the Vale das Flores area.
