Location

In the heart of the Alvalade urbanisation, in Lisbon, the Jardim dos Moradores (Residents' Garden) presents itself as a discreet green haven. Nestled in an interior courtyard, on Rua Eugénio de Castro Rodrigues, this space offers a tranquil pause within the vibrant urban fabric of the capital, providing a more sheltered and welcoming environment.

A Space Shaped by the Community

This garden is distinguished by its strong connection to local residents. Over time, it has been valued and enlivened by the neighbours themselves, who have given it a character of shared use. It is an example of how a green space can be cared for and shaped by those who inhabit it, becoming a daily meeting point and social hub. Recently, small plots for horticulture and gardening have also been created, allowing the community to actively contribute to the maintenance and beauty of the place.

Details and Amenities

Despite being a garden for everyday use, the location holds elements that add interest and functionality. You can observe a tile panel, which lends an artistic and traditional touch to the ambiance, and a sundial, a classic detail that marks the passage of time in a unique way. For visitors' comfort, there are areas equipped with wooden tables and benches, ideal for a relaxing break. Children also find their space, with an area dedicated to play and equipped for their enjoyment. The presence of a drinking fountain, accessible to both people and companion animals, reinforces the garden's welcoming and inclusive nature.
