25-acre landscaped park with large sculptures of 20 prominent Portuguese poets, plus water features.

Relaxed park featuring a notable bronze sculpture & a pond with a fountain, plus dining options.

👍👍 Amazing playgrounds for kids on 3 levels. Very well kept and the eucalyptus trees surrounding the park makes the air smell very fresh. There are toilets right next to the playgrounds which is very handy as well as two paddling pools and a huge shaded seating area. Has to be the best park in Lisbon!

👍 Came through to visit the Nacional Stadium and were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this park. Really lovely green space with plenty of thing to do. So well kept and good to see so many staff taking care of it!

Dogs allowed

😠 Dogs not allowed makes no sense.

In-store shopping

Lush public garden with an iconic cypress tree in its center, plus a playground & frequent events.

Kids' activity center with a classic carousel & wooden labyrinth, plus rope courses & inflatables.

👍👍 It's a bit too crowded during weekends, but you can still find a place to be away from other people.

Shady plaza with a cafe & a pool, plus a statue of Maria da Fonte, who led a rebellion in 1846.

😐 Very pleasant natural space to stroll, read, rest ... Currently very well maintained and regularly maintained. Important and urgent: install fresh water drinkers for dogs! They don't even exist! As for the enclosure reserved for dogs, my opinion is terrible. Small place, full of earth, in the summe...

👍👍 Beautiful big trees offer cool shade on hot days. Pond and areas for kids. Nice cafe and also restaurant attached (menu on door had a couple of vegetarian dishes) with a notice of Fado events (reservations probably wise). Not a huge park but decent size used by locals. Parking is not bad either!

Leafy neighborhood garden with benches & bronze statues, plus a playground & a small soccer field.
