Location:

The Fróis Urban Park is located in the Raposo area, an integral part of the locality of Banática, in the municipality of Almada. Situated in a predominantly urban area, the park serves as a central hub and a meeting point for the communities of the surrounding neighborhoods.

Its position within the city fabric makes it an easily accessible place for those seeking a tranquil refuge or a space for social interaction, all within an environment characterized by the cultural richness and diversity of its people.

A Space for Gathering and Socializing

Conceived as a hub for leisure and socializing, the Fróis Urban Park functions as a true meeting point for residents and visitors. Its layout invites varied use, from tranquil strolls to moments of relaxation, contributing significantly to the quality of urban life.

It is a dynamic space where the community has the opportunity to gather, share experiences, and participate in various activities, fostering a strong sense of belonging and social cohesion in a fresh air environment.

Art and Community Legacy

One of the particularities that distinguish the Fróis Urban Park is its expressive artistic dimension. Within its space, it is possible to contemplate three sculptural objects, whose value transcends mere aesthetic form, residing deeply in their origin and creation process. These pieces are the result of an innovative participatory method, entirely open and proposed by the inhabitants of the adjacent neighborhoods themselves.

This collaborative approach gave rise to an artistic ensemble that serves as a symbolic "monument" to the multiculturalism present in the region, reflecting the harmonious coexistence among different communities, such as those of Portuguese, Cape Verdean, and Romani origin. Art in the park thus functions as a living testimony to collective identity and cultural integration, offering a unique perspective on the local human and artistic heritage.
