Poneiland Park

Category: Culture and Entertainment > Theme Park

District: Lisboa > Sintra > Pexiligais

Location:

Poneilândia Park is located in Pexiligais, in the municipality of Sintra, in an area that combines suburban characteristics with green spaces, providing a sense of tranquility without being too far from the Lisbon metropolitan area. The gently undulating topography and the surrounding open spaces help create a suitable environment for outdoor activities.

The space is integrated into a rural-suburban setting, with scattered vegetation and play areas that extend the visitor's experience beyond the central attractions. This configuration conveys a feeling of warmth and proximity to nature in a family-friendly context.

Origin and Concept:

Poneilândia Park was created as a recreational space for contact with nature, with an emphasis on direct interaction with animals and activities designed for various ages. The basic idea is to provide moments of fun and informal learning through practical experiences involving movement, coordination, and an approach to the animal world.

The activities combine elements of well-being, challenge, and social interaction, allowing families and groups to find different ways to spend their time, whether through individual experiences with animals or in contexts of collective celebration.

Environment and Activities Offered:

The park offers a diverse range of proposals, varying between calmer activities and more dynamic ones. Interaction with ponies and horses provides visitors with an accessible introduction to the equestrian world, while the play areas—such as slides and pedal-powered mobility—add moments of energy and fun. Complementary activities requiring focus and technique, such as archery, add variety to the experience.

There are also components with educational intentions, where visitors, especially children, can learn basic principles of interacting with animals in a guided environment. Celebrations and personalized events combine several of these offerings, adapting them to different audiences and contexts.

Atmosphere and Visitor Experience:

The park conveys a sense of conviviality and safety, with supervision for many of the activities. The combination of animal contact and playful equipment allows visitors to find different rhythms: moments of calm and connection with the animals and moments of pure active fun. This diversity makes the space attractive to families with children of different ages.

The presence of facilitators and the organization of activities suggest a care in balancing participant autonomy with adequate supervision, creating a welcoming setting without losing the lightness of outdoor leisure.
