Location

The Parque da Vila Amália is located in the parish of Santiago, integrated into the urban fabric of the picturesque village of Sesimbra. This significant green space establishes a harmonious connection between important thoroughfares in the village center, such as Rua Cândido dos Reis and Avenida da Liberdade, extending to the revitalized Largo 2 de Abril. Its strategic position offers practical access to those exploring the most central area of Sesimbra.

An Urban Green Refuge

The result of a long-standing desire of the local community, Parque da Vila Amália is today one of the largest and most inviting leisure spaces in the parish of Santiago. Covering an area of approximately twelve thousand square meters, its creation aimed primarily at returning this place to the full enjoyment of the population. This intervention actively contributes to the valorization of the village's urban environment, offering an oasis of tranquility and nature in its heart.

Leisure and Socializing

Designed for the enjoyment of all ages, the park features various amenities that invite outdoor activities and socializing. It includes a modern children's playground, ideal for the fun of the little ones, and an area dedicated to picnics, inviting relaxed meals with family or friends. An extensive network of paths invites peaceful strolls and walks, complemented by strategically placed urban furniture to provide moments of rest and contemplation of the surroundings.

The Essence of Woodland and Shade

Parque da Vila Amália stands out for its naturally wooded environment, which was once a forest. The presence of a variety of tree and shrub species ensures a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere, especially in the shaded areas distributed throughout the space. This plant collection gives the place a particular beauty and a profound sense of serenity, making it an ideal spot to relax and fully enjoy the fresh air.

A Legacy of Community Use

Long before its revitalization, the area where Parque da Vila Amália is now located was already a valued and sought-after place by the local community, serving as a meeting point and a preferred spot for leisure activities and informal picnics. The current intervention not only respected but amplified this tradition, reinforcing its role as a vital space for the socializing and well-being of visitors, and keeping alive the memory of its popular use over time.
