Location

Bento Martins Garden is located in Carnide, one of Lisbon's areas, integrated into the Quinta da Luz urbanization. This green space is nestled among residential buildings, forming a landscaped area accessible from several local arteries, such as Rua Adelaide Cabete, Rua Maria Brown, and Rua Pública Hortênsia de Castro.

Its position within Carnide's urban fabric gives it the character of a refuge, a meeting and leisure point in the heart of a residential area. It is a place that reveals itself as its entrances are explored, offering an environment distinct from the city's hustle and bustle.

An Urban Nature Retreat

With a considerable extension, Bento Martins Garden stands as a green lung in its urban context. It is characterized by a vast lawn area, punctuated by various trees planted in orderly rows, creating inviting shadows. The interior paths, either paved or concrete, allow for a peaceful stroll through the space.

The density of the vegetation and the presence of surrounding buildings contribute to a particular atmosphere. In certain areas, sunlight is filtered by the tree canopies, creating cooler and more secluded zones, ideal for moments of greater tranquility or a relaxing break.

Memory and Community Dynamism

The garden's name is a tribute to António Bento Martins, a prominent figure in local culture and founder of the Carnide Theater Group. This designation underscores the deep connection of the space to the identity and history of the parish, making it more than a mere public garden, but a symbol of appreciation for Carnide's cultural heritage.

As a meeting and leisure point, Bento Martins Garden stands out for the amenities it offers its visitors. It includes a well-equipped playground, which attracts families and youngsters, and a sports court that serves as a hub of activity for enthusiasts of games and outdoor activities, promoting socializing and sports practice within the local community.
