"The Park has three distinct areas: the Central Nave of Quinta das Conchas, the Forest and Quinta dos Lilases. The Central Nave, the largest area, consists of large lawns dotted with trees, open views, which invite ball games and picnics on the grass. It is limited at the highest top by a group of olive and olive trees and, at the bottom, next to the large lake, there is a large mass of eucalyptus trees, classified as a grove of public interest, where the picnic tables are located, in a excellent stay area.
The Forest, a denser forest area with more intact nature, is made up of a varied set of tree species, highlighting a mass of trees of the ZelKova Serrata species, also classified as being of public interest, Himalayan cedars and Buçaco cedars. In some places, a dense cover of shrubs develops, such as adernos, sanguinhos, elderberries and hawthorns, which are very important for several species of birds as shelter, feeding and nesting sites.
Separated from Quinta das Conchas by a wall, we have Quinta dos Lilases, with a more reserved atmosphere, with its famous artificial lake, romantically inspired, representing the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. The vegetation is marked by the alignment of olive trees next to the Quinta das Conchas wall and the presence of eucalyptus, poplar, ash, gleditsia and species of the Quercus genus. The shrub layer is reduced, with pomegranate trees and notable groups of old and large boxwoods standing out. The covering of the clearing areas is rainfed meadow. This farm has a community orchard area, recently built as part of a Participatory Project.
The existence of diverse habitats gives this Park great value in terms of biodiversity, with a higher number of species than usual for urban green spaces."
