Location

The Vila Chã Playground is located in the urbanization of the same name, in the town of Mina de Água, municipality of Amadora. The space is developed in a consolidated urban area, with access from Rua Humberto Madeira and Avenida António Ribeiro Chiado, which gives the park a notable presence in the residential fabric.

Its integration into the daily lives of residents makes it a natural meeting point, benefiting from the tranquility typical of a residential area, while remaining accessible in the heart of the parish.

A Space for Children's Leisure

This park is a place dedicated to children's play and leisure, designed to provide moments of fun and physical activity. Recently, it benefited from a modernization project, which brought more current and diverse equipment, responding to the needs of children of different ages.

In particular, the area along Rua Humberto Madeira is designed with equipment that is better suited for younger children, given its proximity to preschool and primary school institutions. Safety is a priority, with the installation of EPDM (rubber) flooring, which offers greater comfort and protection to users. The park also includes provision for drinking fountains, a useful feature for those who spend more time there.

Environment and Green Surroundings

In addition to the play area, the Vila Chã Playground stands out for its green surroundings. Existing plantings were reinforced and new trees were introduced, contributing to a cooler and more pleasant environment. This investment in vegetation creates a small oasis within the urban context, offering shade and a more natural setting for outdoor activities.

The care for landscape maintenance and the presence of green areas make the park a pleasant place for companions to rest, while children explore the various play challenges available.

An Equipment in Constant Improvement

Inaugurated in 2013, the Vila Chã Playground has been subject to continuous attention to ensure its quality and functionality. The constant pursuit of improvements reflects the commitment to keeping this space relevant and safe for the community. Interventions aim not only to replace worn-out equipment but also to introduce options that promote activity and well-being, including the possibility of complementary physical maintenance equipment.

It is an example of how public spaces can evolve, adapting to the expectations of their users and remaining a central point for family gatherings and socializing in the Vila Chã urbanization.
