Location

Quinta dos Franceses Park is located in Arrentela, part of the municipality of Seixal, more specifically in the Quinta do Outeiro area. Its hillside location offers a privileged perspective of the surroundings, providing unobstructed views. From here, one can see Seixal Bay and the Tagus River, creating a vast and dynamic panorama.

A Recent and Welcoming Space

Created in 2001, this park was conceived as a significant green space in the urban landscape. It serves as a link, connecting the local nerve center, which includes the Courthouse and the Municipal Library, to the city's waterfront. This integration allows the park to function as a green corridor that invites strolls and moments of tranquility.

Natural and Scenic Elements

The park stands out for its vast lawns, which extend throughout the area and invite rest and contemplation. However, one of its most striking features is an elaborate water system. This channel, with its waterfalls, small lakes, and fountains, meanders along the hillside. The continuous presence of water introduces a dynamic and auditory element, which enlivens the atmosphere and enhances the sensation of freshness and vitality throughout the space.
