Location

The Jardim Avenida dos Missionários is located in Agualva, within the urban area of Agualva and Mira-Sintra, in the municipality of Sintra. This green space is integrated into the urban fabric of Agualva and its location follows the proximity of the Ribeira das Jardas, contributing to the enhancement of a green area that extends along this watercourse.

Situated in the vicinity of the Escola António Sérgio, the garden is an accessible point within the residential network, offering a breath of nature and a meeting point for residents and visitors exploring this part of Sintra.

A Renewed Green Space

The Jardim Avenida dos Missionários is the result of a requalification project that transformed and enhanced the existing green spaces along the avenue. This project aimed to improve the leisure and recreation offerings in the area, creating a more inviting environment for outdoor stays and enjoyment. The interventions included reinforcing the tree planting along the streets, which contributes to a greener and more pleasant landscape.

For those looking for a place for a relaxed stroll or an outdoor activity, the garden offers improved conditions. The sidewalks have been widened, providing more space for leisurely walks, and a cycle path has been created, allowing for safe cycling routes. This set of improvements aims to revitalize the public space, making it a meeting point and a place of well-being in Agualva.

Aesthetics and Urban Quality

The requalification of the Jardim Avenida dos Missionários also focused on improving urban aesthetics and functionality. The intervention brought a notable enhancement to the public space, with the introduction of elements that contribute to a cleaner and more organized environment. Waste management, for example, has been optimized with the installation of new equipment, which helps maintain the site's hygiene and preserve its natural and landscape beauty.

This garden represents an investment in the quality of life of the locality by providing a well-maintained and accessible leisure area. Its design seeks to balance urban functionality with the presence of green areas, creating a harmonious environment that invites use by those seeking a moment of tranquility or an opportunity for light physical activity.
