Location

Penedo Urban Park is serenely integrated into the eponymous area of Penedo, part of the locality of Caparide, in the municipality of Cascais. This location grants it the role of a green lung in the heart of a more urbanized area, offering an accessible natural refuge within the built environment.

A Welcoming Green Space

With an area of approximately three hectares, Penedo Urban Park was designed to be a meeting point between urban life and nature. It is a space where biodiversity manifests through varied vegetation, inviting visitors to enjoy moments of tranquility and relaxation outdoors. The park highlights the value of the natural environment and the visual connection established with the surrounding landscape.

Aesthetics and Space Design

The park's design is notable for how it combines distinct elements: rectilinear lines that structure the space contrast harmoniously with the softness of organic and concentric paths. This approach creates a dynamic and engaging visual experience. The generous and open lawn area is carefully framed by shrub vegetation, while the presence of medium and large trees adds shade and natural beauty to the setting, making the enjoyment of the place particularly pleasant.

Activities and Community Life

In the central core of Penedo Urban Park, various areas invite activity and social interaction. There is a recreation area dedicated to children, designed for their safe enjoyment. For the more active, an area designated for sports practice is available, including an outdoor fitness circuit. Furthermore, extensive lawn areas invite informal stays and relaxed leisure moments. The park also hosts the community gardens, an aspect that highlights the connection to the local community and a more sustainable life.
