Parque do Campo do Cassiano is located in the city of Olhão, integrated into the urban area of Monte Murtas. Its position in a residential area gives it a character of proximity, serving the local community and visitors looking for a space dedicated to sports and leisure in an urban environment.
The park's name perpetuates the memory of Dâmaso da Encarnação, popularly known as Cassiano, a prominent figure in Olhão's sports history. Cassiano was a remarkable athlete, especially in football, where he stood out as a national champion playing for Olhanense in 1924. His passion for sport also extended to basketball and, even more importantly, to promoting physical activity among young people, leaving a legacy of dedication to sports development in the city.
Parque do Campo do Cassiano underwent a requalification process, which made it a modern and functional place. This space features areas designed for various sports, namely multi-sport courts, which invite outdoor physical exercise. It is a dynamic meeting point for those looking to maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy an environment conducive to recreation and well-being.
