Location

The Casal do Marco Park is located in the Bacelos de Gaio area, in the locality of Casal do Marco, belonging to the municipality of Seixal. This significant green space is bounded by Rua Deolinda Quartim and Estrada Nacional 10, positioning it as an easily accessible leisure area and a green lung in the urban surroundings.

A Community Project

This urban park was born from a consultation process with local residents, reflecting the community's desire for an enriched public space. Its design aims to provide a place for socializing and well-being, where various outdoor activities can be practiced. By integrating residents' suggestions, the park strengthens the sense of belonging and community in the area.

Structure and Natural Environment

With an area exceeding one hectare, Casal do Marco Park is a generous space that combines landscaping elements with the preservation of the site's natural character. Of particular note is the reinforced afforestation, especially along Estrada Nacional 10, where dense vegetation creates a green barrier. This harmonious integration allows for the enjoyment of a peaceful and airy environment, even in close proximity to a main road.

Activities and Leisure

The park is equipped to accommodate different forms of leisure and physical activity. It includes a dedicated walking trail, complemented by a fitness circuit, encouraging exercise. For enthusiasts of wheeled sports, there is a pumptrack, designed for bicycles, scooters, and skates. Furthermore, various seating areas have been created, ideal for moments of rest or informal gatherings.
