On the Grid : Parque Infante Dom Pedro

"It’s known by the locals as "Parque da Macaca" because once there was a cage with a monkey. Ideal for a stroll through its green spaces with ancient trees, through the bridges that cross the lake inhabited by numerous ducks, through the New Art Bandstand, through the staircase with a cave, and through the Avenue of Lindens and the Tea House." - Bruno Garcia

Its a very lovely park, maybe even a hidden pearl of Aveiro that needs just a little bit of love and care. There is a pond, in which there are a lot of ducks. Bamboo forest reslly surprised us 😁 The park is very nice to ride a bike, jog, walk around and relax, enjoy the views . It really has a potential.

Beautiful park with huge potential — but terribly neglected. Parque Infante Dom Pedro in Aveiro is a truly beautiful and charming space. It has everything you could want in an urban park: a peaceful lake with ducks, lovely old buildings, shaded areas, picnic spots, a playground, sports facilities, and even public bathrooms. It could easily be one of the best parks in Portugal — but there’s a huge "but." The park is extremely neglected. Many areas are damaged, dirty, and poorly maintained. Trash is often visible, structures are in bad shape, and it’s clear that regular cleaning and upkeep are lacking. It’s honestly very sad and disappointing to see such a wonderful space falling apart like this. I really don’t understand why the Câmara Municipal doesn’t take better care of this park. It has incredible potential to be a true gem for locals and tourists alike, but it desperately needs attention and investment.

Dom Pedro Park is truly one of the most beautiful places you can visit in Aveiro and one of the most beautiful parks in Portugal. The weather is really great there. A green park with many types of trees with a beautiful lake in the middle. There is also an lively bar inside.. The best thing you can see is the wonderful types of birds there such as ducks, geese and others. The place is really great and inspires relaxation and peace. ..I advise everyone to visit the site when they come to Aveiro.

Originally developed in 1861 under the initiative of city council president Firmino Maia, the site began as a transformation of the former Campo de Santo António into a public promenade. The park took on its current layout and structures between 1925 and 1927, following a plan by Jacinto de Matos. Notable features include the white and blue azulejo tile panels in staircases, the Art Nouveau-style bandstand (Coreto), and the Mae de Água water tower. With expansive lawns and mature trees, the park offers a serene, almost arboretum-like setting. A pedestrian overpass, the Passarela, connects it conveniently to the nearby Parque da Baixa de Santo António, making it ideal for leisurely strolls.

Its a beautifully cute park situated not far way frOm the city center. It has a good location to take some photos as souvenir. There is a small water pool too. Its really great to spend sOme quiet moments. The playground for children is also available, plus washrooms. And if you are visiting it in a warm day, there is a small cafe to provide you drinks. It was nice to visit this park while our visit in Aveiro.

We enjoyed walking around this park so much! The serenity of the place is unbelievable! It really calms you just by appreciating it’s beauty. A great way to escape the busyness of Aveiro’s city center. The place is very pretty as well to take photos.

One of the most charming and beautiful parks in Portugal, for damn sure. I absolutely fell in love with the bohemian vibe that it has to offer. It’s an amazing place for bird-watching lovers. There’s a variety of life forms living here that is kind of rare these days. It’s also great for small picnics but please, there are trash bins around in every corner of the park, don’t leave any traces of your personal trash there. Be attentive! It’s a great place to just chill out and read a book as well. Enjoy it!
