Short trails in an urban park beside Lagoa, with sculptures, greenery and viewpoints. A good choice for families and beginner walkers.

For a first visit, choose one trail and climb at your own pace: although the park sits beside the lagoon, routes to the viewpoints include slopes and steps, so they are not flat paths for wheelchairs or pushchairs. With children, stay on the marked path and plan a break before the climb. Check that the park is open that day; bring water and avoid the hottest hours, as shade does not cover every section.

Do not treat difficulty, duration or conditions as guarantees for the day. Check the weather and local notices, choose a route suited to your experience and return before dark.
