Location

The Salgueiro Maia Park is located in the urban area of Massamá and Monte Abraão, a parish in the municipality of Sintra. This green space, of an urban nature, offers an accessible refuge within the city environment.

A Hub for Activity and Well-being

Recognized as an important meeting point for physical activity, the Salgueiro Maia Park was designed to promote a healthy lifestyle. Its spaces allow for the development of various disciplines, from adventure and combat sports to fitness and gymnastics activities, offering a varied range of options for those seeking to stay active outdoors.

An Inclusive and Adapted Space

One of the distinctive aspects of this park is the existence of a space dedicated to inclusion, being the first of its kind in the municipality of Sintra. This inclusive park has been carefully designed to be used by children, young people, and individuals with diverse needs, including sensory, cognitive, physical, communication, and social disabilities.

The design of this space stands out for its accessibility, with paths that ensure the circulation of people with reduced mobility, through step-free and adapted pavements. The attention to detail extends to the visual elements, with pavements featuring stimulating colors and the integration of the ColorAdd system, a color identification code for colorblind individuals. The park is divided into three distinct areas, each equipped with elements that provide different sensory and motor stimuli.
