Located in Vendas Novas, this garden is integrated into the urban fabric of the Bairro 20 de Maio neighbourhood. Its position, next to Avenida da República, makes it an easily accessible point for those exploring the locality, offering a green refuge within the city environment.
The José Saramago Neighbourhood Garden is the result of a landscape requalification project that aimed to create a harmonious and inviting environment. One of its distinctive features is how the project integrated existing vegetation; it is possible to observe the presence of olive trees and various fruit trees that were carefully maintained and now fit into a vast lawn. This approach gives the garden a sense of continuity and respect for local nature, while providing a wide and pleasant area to enjoy.
This garden was designed for everyone's enjoyment, with a variety of elements that invite visitors to stay. It is possible to traverse the space via a main pedestrian path, accessible from four distinct points, complemented by a secondary path of decorative paving that adds an aesthetic touch. For visitors with children, there is a dedicated children's playground. Furthermore, a cycle path offers an option for informal bike rides, and at the centre of the garden, there is an area that invites relaxation and socialising.
