Lago Dos Patos is located in the center of the town of Cartaxo, in the municipality of the same name, and is a landmark integrated into the heart of its main garden. Its central location makes it easily accessible, presenting itself as a distinctive element in the urban environment, inviting breaks and strolls. The lake offers a point of tranquility in the city's pulse.
This lake is one of the most emblematic and beloved spaces by the population of Cartaxo. Its existence dates back several decades, with photographic records attesting to its presence in the urban landscape since at least the mid-20th century. Over time, Lago Dos Patos has consolidated itself as a meeting point and a familiar setting for several generations of residents, marking the collective memory of the region.
The name of the place, "Lago Dos Patos" (Ducks' Lake), clearly indicates its vocation for hosting aquatic birds, namely ducks, which contribute to the serene and natural atmosphere of the space. Aware of its importance for the urban ecosystem and the community, this lake has been the subject of interventions to ensure its maintenance and vitality. The work carried out aims to ensure water quality and the functioning of its systems, allowing it to continue to be a pleasant place for wildlife observation in an urban context.
