Location:

Paulo Vallada Garden is located in the Eirinhas area, in Porto, and harmoniously integrates into the city's urban landscape. It is situated between Rua de Santos Pousada and Avenida Fernão de Magalhães, and its proximity to Campo 24 de Agosto facilitates its identification on the map.

An Environment of Leisure and Tranquility

Locally known as the "Garden of Stones" (Jardim das Pedras), this green space invites relaxation and decompression. It is an ideal place for strolls, where one can enjoy the shade of the trees on hot days or appreciate the colours of autumn. It is also a meeting point for those seeking a moment of tranquility, whether to read a book or simply observe the city's rhythm.

For Canine Companions: A Pioneering Park

Paulo Vallada Garden is a landmark for visitors traveling with their pets. It stands out for being the first official dog park in Porto, inaugurated in 2019. The space is carefully organized with separate areas for dogs of different sizes, and offers amenities such as drinking fountains, obstacles, and ramps, allowing animals to run and play freely in a safe environment adapted to their needs.

A Space with a Vision for the Future

In addition to its recreational function and natural beauty, Paulo Vallada Garden plays an innovative role in Porto's urban sustainability strategy. It was designed to function as a city "sponge," integrating retention basins and a sunken field, which allow for the collection and management of rainwater during intense precipitation events. This intelligent design contributes to Porto's resilience to climate change, while maintaining the garden as a green leisure space for everyone for most of the year.
