Location

Parque Isidoro Guedes is located in the Almacave area, a part of the city of Lamego. This central green space offers a tranquil environment and is easily accessible for those exploring the locality, being recognized as one of Lamego's main green lungs.

Historical Roots

The history of Parque Isidoro Guedes began in 1834, the year it was established on land that once belonged to the now-dissolved Convento dos Gracianos. This past gives the park a connection to Lamego's historical roots, transforming a former conventual space into a place for community and leisure for residents and visitors.

An Urban Oasis

Considered one of the most pleasant places in Lamego, the park is distinguished by a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Over the years, it has benefited from redevelopments that modernized its infrastructure, including the creation of new walking paths and the installation of urban furniture. Its ambiance is enhanced by a central lake and an lighting system that invites moments of tranquility.

Natural Heritage

The natural dimension of Parque Isidoro Guedes is notable, with dense tree cover providing abundant shade, especially on warmer days. Species such as maples, plane trees, and eucalyptus trees are carefully maintained, reflecting a commitment to preserving the local green heritage. This attention to urban arboriculture contributes significantly to improving air quality and creating a healthy and vibrant environment.

Family Space

With the aim of providing moments of family fun, the park includes a play area dedicated to children. This space was the first playground to be built in the city of Lamego and is equipped with modern and safe play equipment on a suitable surface. It currently offers a renovated location for younger children, aged between two and twelve years old, to play and enjoy the outdoors.
