★★★★★2 years agoOne of the biggest nature parks in Porto! Has some nice trails and picknic areas Has bathrooms 🚽 and the park is closed after sunset with the gates locked 🔐
Raele Ohana
★★★★★11 months agoWhat a lovely park. So happy to have visited. Expansive, wide tree-lined avenue lined with benches, a striking waterfall feature, lots of playscape areas, a couple of clean bright snack/drink trailers with welcoming shaded tables. There were several little family gatherings happening. Feels safe and restorative. Best of all: no tourism crowds. It's a calm and authentic Portuguese park.
