Green Meadow Park

Category: Nature > Park

District: Lisboa > Torres Vedras > Torres Vedras > Bairro de Santo António

Location:

Parque Verde da Várzea is located in the Santo António neighborhood, northwest of the center of Torres Vedras. It is situated next to residential areas and offers pedestrian access from the surrounding streets. The urban environment gives it a tranquil character, despite its proximity to the city's urban fabric.

In the immediate vicinity, wide thoroughfares are noticeable, featuring mature trees that create a green corridor leading to the main entrance. Navigation is easy due to the regular layout of the paths, which follow the gentle slope of the Várzea.

Natural Environment:

The extensive lawn invites unhurried strolls and moments of rest in the shade of mainly cork oaks and other native species. On sunny days, the wooded areas offer cool zones for those wishing to read, chat, or simply relax.

The layout of the pedestrian paths allows visitors to observe small flowery nooks and benches strategically placed on compacted earth platforms, where one can appreciate the rustic atmosphere that contrasts with the urban housing.

Leisure Facilities:

Scattered throughout the park are various outdoor fitness equipment, designed for stretching, muscle strengthening, and coordination exercises. These stations complement the large children's playground, which includes swings, slides, and climbing structures, designed for different age groups.

The central space amplifies the feeling of freedom for informal games or group activities, while the more peripheral areas offer suitable routes for running and walking.
