This green space is well integrated into the urban and residential fabric, serving as a point of leisure and rest for residents and visitors in the vicinity.

A Haven of Serenity

The park's design prioritizes simplicity, creating a functional place where one can enjoy nature in an urban setting.

The Significance of the Name

The park's name, "25 de Abril", carries a deep historical significance for Portugal. It is a clear allusion to the Carnation Revolution, the event that, on April 25, 1974, restored freedom and democracy to the country. Although the park is a space dedicated to leisure and social interaction, its name serves as a silent tribute and a permanent reminder of the values and achievements associated with this emblematic date in contemporary Portuguese history.
