Parque Aventura is located in Ermesinde, a town that is part of the municipality of Valongo, in the metropolitan area of Porto. This outdoor space emerges as a meeting point with nature within an urban environment, characterized by its amplitude and the diversity of its green landscape. Its implantation offers a harmonious transition between the built environment and the natural area.
The history of Parque Aventura is particularly notable for its origin. The site where this park is developed today was, in the past, a landfill. Through an ambitious project of sealing and environmental recovery, the area was completely transformed and enhanced. This intervention allowed the conversion of a degraded space into a vast green lung, serving as a significant example of landscape requalification and environmental sustainability.
The management and quality of Parque Aventura are recognized internationally. The space has been distinguished with the prestigious Green Flag Award, a distinction that certifies parks and public green spaces for their good administration and maintenance. This award underscores the park's commitment to offering a well-maintained and accessible natural environment, reflecting a continuous commitment to environmental excellence and enjoyment by all its visitors.
Since its conception, Parque Aventura has been designed to promote physical activity, respect for the environment, and socialization. It is a place that invites exploration and the enjoyment of outdoor moments, encouraging an active lifestyle in harmony with nature. Its serene atmosphere and available paths provide a relaxing experience, where one can appreciate the natural surroundings and enjoy peaceful coexistence, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
