Located in the city of Lisbon, Alvito Recreational Park is integrated into the Alcântara area. It is part of the vast Monsanto Forest Park, thus positioning it as one of the capital's main green spaces.
Alvito Recreational Park is a space designed for the leisure and enjoyment of visitors of all ages. It offers a variety of equipment and areas dedicated to recreation and family gatherings.
This park stands out for its play areas, designed for different age groups, ensuring age-appropriate fun for the youngest visitors. There are multiple slides, climbing structures, swings, and other classic playground equipment.
Particularly appealing are the themed wooden constructions that encourage imagination, such as a caravel for playing pirates or structures that evoke tents and a train.
In addition to the play areas, the park features a multi-sport court, ideal for informal practice of sports like football.
Various picnic areas with tables and benches are spread throughout the park, offering pleasant spots for breaks, outdoor meals, and social moments with family or friends.
Alvito Park holds a special memory for many Lisbon residents. For years, its identity was linked to the presence of real vehicles (such as old Carris trams, a plane, and a fire truck) which served as play structures for children.
Although these elements are no longer on site, their history is part of the park's narrative, which has been modernized and equipped with newer, safer structures, while maintaining its recreational spirit.
Integrated into the vast forest area of Monsanto, the park benefits from a surrounding natural environment. The presence of many trees offers abundant shade, making it a cooler and more inviting place on hot days.
