Natural Elements

This green space is characterized by carefully integrated vegetation, with trees offering shaded areas and foliage that underscores its role as a natural lung in the area. Its layout invites close contact with nature and the enjoyment of its scents and sounds.

Atmosphere and Character

The Parque da Fonte is a place designed for passive leisure and relaxation. It is not a space of great dynamism, but rather an invitation to reflection, a quiet stroll along its paths, or a moment of reading and contemplation.

Its pleasant character and functional simplicity allow visitors to enjoy the serenity of the natural environment. It is a space that invites appreciation of quietude and disconnection, providing a refuge for body and mind.
