Traveler reviews
Emanuel Gouveia
★★★★★9 months agoe só para informar que isto está assim e vi uma criança a meter o pé e ter se arranhado no pezinho isto não é uma crítica e só uma observação muito obrigado
e s
★★★★★2 years agoIt's a good playground for children, including the small ones. Good shade under nice lush trees, soft flooring, a few swings, two slides, a fence and some climbs. A few leaves from the trees lying on the floor, but not trash. Nothing vandalized, all seems functional and safe. There is a much older playground 75m to the east, don't go there, it's dirty and dilapidated. This one is much better and newer.
