Location

Cristóvão da Gama Park is located in Amadora, in the municipality of the same name, within the urban area of Águas Livres, specifically in the Damaia de Baixo area. This park is situated in a central space of the locality, easily accessible and surrounded by the dynamics of the neighborhood's daily life.

Its position in a "largo" or square gives it the role of a meeting point and a break in the urban routine, offering a welcoming environment in the heart of the city.

An Urban Green Space

This park is an example of public space redevelopment, designed to offer a social and leisure area within the urban fabric of Amadora. Its design integrates landscaped areas with wide paved areas, creating an environment that invites rest and outdoor socializing. A variety of trees can be found here, contributing to the pleasant atmosphere and providing shade on sunny days.

The central space of the park is spacious enough to allow for small events or simply to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

Leisure and Well-being

Designed for the community's enjoyment, Cristóvão da Gama Park features a playground, making it an attractive place for those visiting with children. This play equipment is a point of attraction for the younger ones, while adults can relax in the seating areas. Benches and low walls, which function as seats, offer multiple places to sit, read, or observe the surrounding activity.

The combination of natural elements and leisure facilities makes this park an ideal spot for a relaxed break in the city.

Mobility and Comfort

The recent redevelopment of Cristóvão da Gama Park also focused on improving pedestrian circulation. The sidewalks have been widened and renovated, providing greater fluidity and safety for walkers. The crosswalks have been redesigned and adapted, following accessibility standards, which facilitates access for people with reduced mobility.

This attention to mobility and comfort ensures that the park is an inclusive and pleasant space for all visitors, inviting a worry-free stroll.
