Location

Bela Vista Park is located in the eastern part of Lisbon, in the Marvila urbanization, bordering Alvalade. Its position in a naturally hilly area offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy remarkable panoramic views over the city. The park is traversed by Avenida Marechal António de Spínola, but its two large areas are connected by a passageway, ensuring the continuity of the green space for those who walk through it.

Origin and Character

Opened to the public in 1991, Bela Vista Park retains the characteristics of an old farm. This heritage gives it a predominantly rural appearance, which is a distinctive feature for a large green space integrated into Lisbon's urban fabric. With a considerable area of 85 hectares, it is a tranquil refuge that preserves a countryside essence within a vibrant city.

Natural Environment and Activities

This extensive park is a remarkable example of typical Portuguese flora and fauna, notably a diversity of birds that can be observed. The landscape is composed of a balance between wooded areas and vast clearings, formerly cereal fields. For those seeking outdoor leisure, the park offers various options, such as a multi-sport area with a futsal pitch, dedicated picnic areas, walking trails, and even a dog park. A viewpoint invites visitors to contemplate the surroundings, providing moments of quietude and appreciation for the landscape.
