Location

Afonso Costa Neighborhood Park is located within the urbanization of the same name, in the city of Setúbal. Its position, in a predominantly residential area, makes it a meeting and leisure point for the local community, but also an urban space accessible to all who visit the city and seek a refuge of tranquility within its urban fabric.

This park is well integrated into the landscape of the Setúbal area, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the locality and its commitment to nearby green spaces.

A Revitalized Space

Afonso Costa Neighborhood Park underwent a profound revitalization, transforming it into a modern and inviting space. The interventions carried out focused on improving existing infrastructure and introducing new elements, with the aim of enhancing its enjoyment by visitors.

This renovation reflects a vision of urban development that prioritizes quality of life and the creation of welcoming environments, contributing to a more pleasant and functional experience within the park.

Diversity of Amenities

Designed to meet the needs of different age groups and interests, the park offers a variety of equipment. For children, there is a renewed children's play area, with modern toys and a safe surface. Adults looking to stay in shape can use outdoor exercise equipment, ideal for workouts in contact with nature.

Additionally, the park features shading pergolas and picnic tables, creating ideal areas for light meals or outdoor gatherings. There are also bicycle parking racks, encouraging more sustainable modes of transport.

Comfort and Accessibility

Visitor comfort was a priority in the design of this space. The garden benches, some of which were strategically repositioned, invite rest under the shade of the trees. The presence of a drinking fountain is a practical detail for those spending time in the park.

Regarding accessibility, significant improvements were implemented, including the installation of bollards next to car parking and the placement of flagstones in grassy areas to facilitate pedestrian passage. The park's lighting was also reinforced with LED technology, providing greater safety and a more welcoming atmosphere, especially after nightfall.
