"It is located on the extension of Avenida da Liberdade, starting next to Rotunda Marquês de Pombal.
With around 26 hectares, it provides an excellent panoramic view over the city.
Initially called Parque da Liberdade, it was renamed in 1903, named after the King of England, Edward VII, during his visit to Lisbon in 1903.
In 1942, architect Keil do Amaral designed the park, as we know it today, characterized by a large central axis of lawn decorated by a geometric composition of boxwood hedges, flanked by two large avenues of trees where the artistic Portuguese sidewalk has great expression.
On its edge, densely wooded, there are two large facilities: the Estufa Fria with its magnificent lake, on the western side, and the Carlos Lopes Pavilion, on the eastern side.
In addition to these facilities, the Park is embellished by other lakes, a varied set of statuary, a children's playground, a picnic area, kiosks, restaurants, sports facilities and fitness equipment.
At the north top stand out the four monumental columns which, next to the monument to the 25th of April by the artist João Cutileiro, stand out in the landscape.
Since its inception, this park has hosted fairs, exhibitions and entertainment. Every year at the end of May, it hosts the Lisbon Book Fair."

"It's a very large garden close to Marquês de Pombal (also in this guide). If you come around in May you will probably find the largest book fair of the country here, but the days of each edition are different,s o check before you come."
