The Garden of Discoveries is located in Sines, in the area known as Bairro Operário (Workers' Quarter). It is situated on the western side of what was once the railway line, next to Avenida General Humberto Delgado. Its position in the city integrates it into an urban area characterized by the presence of various commercial establishments and services, offering an accessible meeting point harmoniously integrated into local daily life.
Opened in 1991, this garden covers an area of 7400 square meters. Its creation represented the transformation of an old railway corridor into a green space, designed for leisure and socialization. Inside, a bandstand stands out, becoming a focal point for various activities. The garden also incorporates the Espaço Sénior (Senior Space) of the Garden of Discoveries, emphasizing its vocation as a gathering place for the community at large, including visitors seeking a moment of respite.
The Garden of Discoveries recently underwent an intervention aimed at enhancing its functionality and aesthetics. These works focused on improving pedestrian paths and parking areas, seeking to resolve issues related to the growth of tree roots that, over time, affected the pavement surface. The primary objective was to ensure greater accessibility and comfort for all who use it. The rehabilitated space now constitutes a site of landscape and sociocultural value, designed to provide a more pleasant and safe experience for its users.
