Location

Parque Chafariz do Penedo is located in the Penedo urbanization, part of the locality of São Domingos de Rana, in the municipality of Cascais. It is a green space carefully integrated into the urban environment, serving as a point of pause and leisure that harmonizes with the surrounding residential area.

Design and Character

The design of Parque Chafariz do Penedo was conceived based on the physical characteristics of the terrain, resulting in a composition that balances straight lines with the softness of organic and concentric lines. These lines form the paths that guide visitors through the space, converging at the park's central core. Its surroundings feature grassy areas framed by shrub vegetation and various arboreal elements which, along with the seating furniture, invite a tranquil enjoyment of the place. The park's name, Parque Chafariz do Penedo, highlights the existence of a fountain, a distinctive element that contributes to the identity and characteristic atmosphere of this space.

Leisure and Recreation Zones

At the heart of the park, there is a central area dedicated to both children's recreation and sports practice, designed to accommodate different age groups. This activity zone integrates into an adjacent green area, composed of lawn, where urban furniture is arranged to support visitors' stay. In addition to these more structured areas, the park offers extensive lawn areas, ideal for moments of informal leisure and outdoor relaxation, some of which benefit from the shade provided by medium and large trees, which enrich the environment and invite rest.
