Fundamental to children’s healthy development, playgrounds offer physical, psychological and social benefits.
They provide an environment where children can explore, play outdoors, interact with other children, develop motor skills, strengthen their muscles, control their weight and even improve their self-esteem .
Playgrounds also allow children to learn to share and understand the rules of living together.
So if you want to get the kids out of front of the TV , all you have to do is take a look at our suggestions. Our playgrounds are real adventure scenes.
We have Indian camps and children’s driving schools in Alto da Serafina, a caravel in classic Alvito, a castle to conquer in Parque da Fantasia, rowing boat races on the lake in Jardim do Campo Grande, a giraffe to climb in Jardim da Estrela or a huge web of ropes to climb!
And never forget that your presence is fundamental and important in guiding them and ensuring their safety while they play in these parks.
Slides and swings are for boys, but these playgrounds promise much more.
At the top of Bethlehem you can see a mill, skateboarding or see a waterfall, in the Torel you can take a dip in the fountain and dry off in the sun (in summer, of course), Quinta das Conchas has the best slides and Quinta Pedagógica dos Olivais has donkeys and cows ready to be petted.
There’s even a Turma da Mónica park, where you can play with the characters from Brazil’s most famous comic book.
It’s time to take a picnic or fill the little ones up with treats, after all, this is when memories are made forever, just don’t stay at home on your cell phone, there are plenty of adventures ahead!
