    This is a fantastic spot to relax and soak up the sun! The Fonte Luminosa adds a natural ambiance with the soothing sound of the waterfall. 😂

    I had the pleasure to stay near this park and I was stunned and impressed. How vibrant everything is and just how many people go there to engage in every kind of activity. People playing cards, running, playing with their dogs, playing sports, you name it. Plus there is the gorgeous fountain and up top balcony that makes you able to see all the park. The fountain when it is on is so filled with a sparkling water and jeux d'eau that it is refreshing just by looking at it. You could spend hours there just sitting and relaxing. Great place.

    It is nice, probably much nicer when it actually works.

    Very big park with benches around and clean grass to sunbathing. The stairs going up gives a great view from above. There are places to have a cold beer and relax. The bathroom were closed.

    Visited the fountain several times in September and October, but it wasn't working. The water jets were turned off, and there was no illumination in the evening. I literally felt left in the dark about the reason. Nonetheless, the statues are beautiful or, at least, impressive.

    Very pretty view from top of the waterfall, however saw a man pissing on it. There’s a park for kids to play in and a lot of picnic space.

    Beautiful place to hang out and people watch. Locals come here to bring their dogs to run off leash. There are a couple food carts near by and right on the metro line.

    Wonderful stretch of long grass with large fountain and views of the neighborhood. A great place for a little bit of nature and space within the busy city.

    Beautiful and huge fountain like a waterfall. It stops at 8 pm. There is nothing more interesting in that place.

    Interesting location and intriguing architecture to experience, standing on top, seeing from one side to another. Unfortunately when I visited the huge fountain just shut down the moment I arrived at the spot to take the pictures. Worth a visit when you're around that area anyway, not very touristic or of historical importance though.

    Nice open field. Fountain is pretty but a bit run down. View from above the fountain is nice

  • 3/5 Jeanne C. 7 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Some lights were not working, otherwise it could be nice. However, all around, it smells piss, because men do piss in the stairs. This place could be really nice to watch the sunset and picnic with friends but it's not well maintained enough

    Leider gab es bei unserem Besuch kein Wasser. Schön wäre es, wenn man Informationen erhalten kann, wann der Brunnen läuft. Dennoch ein toller Ort.

  • 2/5 Niina N. 7 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Hienon näköinen vesiputous. Ilta kuitenkin pettymys, paljon valoja pimeänä. Puiston viereinen hissi metroon ei toiminut ja haisi ihmisvirtsalle. Suosittelen pesämään sisäänkäynnin säännöllisesti. Nice looking waterfall. However, the evening was disappointing, a lot of lights in the dark. The elevator next to the park to the subway didn't work and smelled of human urine. I recommend washing the entrance regularly. Cachoeira bonita. Porém, a noite foi decepcionante, muitas luzes no escuro. O elevador ao lado do parque para o metrô não funcionava e cheirava a urina humana. Recomendo lavar a entrada regularmente.

    Beautiful, until I was able to take a picture the water abruptly shut off. So I took off a star. But it is a must see in Lisbon. When the water is flowing it is definitely a sight to behold. Was stunned not to see more tourists.

    Really nice fountain, but it wasn't light up at all. We went there half an hour before and we were surprised at first because the jets weren't working and the whole fountain was still but after some searching on internet we found ot performs every evening from 6 pm to 9 pm. Which is really nice if you could see it

  • 4/5 Sahil V. 6 months ago on Google
    It is located at one end of a long garden. The garden is located in a valley so the ends are higher than the centre of the garden. Great views from the height directly across the fountain. Convenient access via public transport and the metro station opens really close by.

    Pretty and nice but nicer in the evenings 🙌

  • 4/5 Ian H. 10 months ago on Google
    Clean well kept park edged by wide paths with shaded seats. Cafes nearby. Fine looking fountains, sadly not on today. Illuminated at night. Toilets & showers at the park- clean but limited provision.

    Open grassy Park separating the suburbs with a lovely fountain at the one end. Close to the Alameda metro

    Beautiful Place to relax all by yourself or be with your family or friends for a picnic and quality time. Also, a great place to do excercise and cardio!

    Beautiful fountain, so big and well illuminated at night. Great place for hanging out and having a snack with friends.

  • 3/5 MD.Rifatul I. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited the place few times, huge ground to play or hang out. The water fountain looks amazing at night but the human statue was so dirty, not cleaned for long, even the colour changed. Without these look more beautiful, my personal thinking.

  • 5/5 Haneen abo s. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like this place. It's central. I could get a coffee and watch my kids play at the play ground, enjoy a picnic.

    Berry nice and quiet place ,

  • 3/5 gragelgreen 1 year ago on Google
    Stunningly carved fountain, but sadly only a trickle of water flowing.

  • 4/5 Gerardo L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to catch some sun light by sunset. Only avoid the grass, as it's the bathroom for the many dogs around.

  • 5/5 Christelle Van S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very pretty view and fountain.

  • 4/5 Nathan E. 3 years ago on Google
    Giant fountain and expansive green plaza atop a metro station, also some interesting sights to see in the area if you’re up for a walk!

  • 3/5 Edwina S. 2 years ago on Google
    Would be nice if there wasn´t so much trash lying around.
