Conception and Environment

Inaugurated in late 2003, Quinta das Flores Park was conceived as a contemporary and multifunctional space. It features extensive grassy areas that invite relaxation or casual outdoor activities. These vast green zones are interconnected by well-defined paths, punctuated by benches that provide moments for pause and contemplation.

The general atmosphere is one of tranquility, offering a serene contrast to the dynamism of the city. The organization of the space allows visitors to move around with ease, enjoying the spaciousness and the existing vegetation, which contributes to a calm and refreshing atmosphere.

This park offers several options for those looking to stay active or simply enjoy moments of outdoor leisure. Its lawns are suitable for various informal games, and for those who prefer more structured activities, there is an exercise circuit and an area dedicated to street workout, known as Street Workout.

For group leisure, the park provides specific tables for table tennis. For the younger ones, a playground offers a safe and fun space for games and outdoor socializing.

Quinta das Flores Park integrates various elements that enrich the visitor's experience and reveal aspects of its unique character. Among these, the Fonte da Pedra (Stone Fountain) and the Fonte dos Passarinhos (Bird Fountain) stand out, adding a touch of charm and heritage to the space.
