Location

Alvito Playground is located in a lush green area of Lisbon, within Tapada das Necessidades, in the parish of Alcântara. Its position offers an environment of serenity and contact with nature, being close to one of the capital's largest green spaces, which gives it a peaceful and inviting setting for a day outdoors.

Situated in an elevated area, the location offers a sense of detachment from urban hustle and bustle, providing a refuge for those seeking a space for leisure and socializing in a natural environment, within the city limits.

An Updated Recreational Space

Alvito Playground underwent a significant redevelopment, now featuring a series of modern equipment designed for the safety and enjoyment of its youngest visitors. The old structures that once characterized the space have given way to a set of playful elements that stimulate imagination and physical activity, such as tents, a caravel, and a train, all predominantly built from wood.

This renovation has ensured that the park offers an enriched play experience, with infrastructures that promote a safe and stimulating play environment, suitable for the needs of contemporary children.

Variety of Play Equipment

The park features various play zones, designed for different age groups, ensuring that all children find activities tailored to them. There is an area dedicated to the youngest, up to five years old, with multi-functional towers, adapted swings, spring riders, and slides that invite exploration.

For children aged six to twelve, there are spaces with more challenging structures, including "spiders," slides, and multi-functional towers. Also noteworthy is an adventure area, where a wooden caravel awaits young explorers, promising many hours of play inspired by the world of piracy and discovery.

Natural Setting and Amenities

Alvito Playground is blessed with abundant natural shade, provided by the dense surrounding vegetation, which makes the space pleasant even on hotter days. This feature, combined with various picnic areas, invites extended family stays.

For visitors' comfort, the park offers accessible restroom facilities, including a changing room, a football field for sports activities, and areas equipped with barbecues, ideal for outdoor meals. The presence of specific equipment for babies demonstrates the attention dedicated to family well-being, ensuring a comfortable and practical visit.
