The Youth Park is located in Portimão, in an urban area near the well-known Praia da Rocha. It is integrated into the Alto Pacheco area, offering a green and tranquil space within the city, yet easily accessible for those exploring Portimão's coastal and urban surroundings.
This park, covering approximately 15,000 square meters, has recently undergone extensive redevelopment, transforming it into a modern and accessible space for everyone. Its central purpose is to provide a place for leisure and informal sports practice, suitable for various ages and interests. The careful renovation has restored the park's vitality, making it a dynamic meeting point for socialising and outdoor activities.
The Youth Park features a variety of areas for entertainment and sports. It includes playgrounds equipped with various toys, designed for younger children. For those seeking more adrenaline, there is a BMX track and a new radical park, ideal for practicing disciplines such as skateboarding. Sports enthusiasts will also find an outdoor gym, a street workout area, and courts for futsal and 3x3 basketball, encouraging sports practice in different formats.
In addition to the sports and leisure facilities, the park is a green haven, with its landscaped areas and pedestrian paths restored. One of its distinctive features is the elevated boardwalk that runs through the treetops, offering a unique perspective of the natural environment. At the park's highest point, a watchtower provides panoramic views of the surrounding area. In the center, a recently redeveloped lake, with a deck and purifying plants, contributes to a serene atmosphere, complemented by the presence of some animals, enriching the natural experience of the space.
