Location

Parque C.M.C. is serenely situated in the locality of Rana, a markedly residential area within the municipality of Cascais, in the district of Lisbon. This environment is characterized by a more tranquil and suburban atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of denser urban centers, offering a welcome contrast to the agitation of city life.

Its position in Rana places the park in a context where quietness and proximity to natural elements are valued, providing a space that invites rest and outdoor contact on the outskirts of Lisbon, functioning as a true green lung for the local community and visitors.

Legacy and Historical Renewal

Parque C.M.C. is distinguished by its designation, which refers to an important restoration intervention in the year 1924. This date is fundamental, as it suggests a history that largely predates the 20th century, indicating that the green space already existed previously and was, at that time, the subject of significant renovation and enhancement, which shaped its current configuration.

A restoration with almost a century of existence confers upon the park a dimension of continuity and preservation, making it not only a leisure space but also a living testament to a history of continuous use and maintenance over decades. It is a place that invites attentive observation, where the influences of the landscape planning ideas of that era can still be glimpsed, where harmony with nature and the well-being of its visitors were central elements.

Natural Environment and Enjoyment

Designed for the enjoyment of nature and outdoor leisure activities, Parque C.M.C. offers botanical diversity, with trees providing generous shade and vegetation contributing to a cool and pleasant environment, particularly on hotter days.

Its pedestrian paths invite tranquil strolls and moments of contemplation, in an atmosphere of profound serenity. Its size and careful configuration allow for an immersive experience in the calm that a well-maintained green space can offer, revealing itself as a unique point of interest for those who value contact with the landscape and the quietness inherent to the suburban environment of Cascais.
