Porto’s Parque Oriental

Parque Oriental do Porto

Opened in June 2010, Parque Oriental is one of Porto’s newest parks, about 10 hectares of green space within viewing distance of Estádio do Dragão (stadium for Porto FC). This afternoon we acquainted ourselves with Parque Oriental for the first time, following the tracks and streams and vegetable gardens along the periphery. There are plenty of paved paths cut into the slope and the city has done a great job of incorporating water features, especially the open line down to the pond so dogs can get a cool drink on a hot day.
