Asprela Central Park

Paulo Farinha Marques

Main coordinator and co-author of the Asprela Park

The Asprela Central Park, with an area of 6 hectares, serves as a central connection point for the entire Asprela university campus, uniting various universities and institutes, as well as the entire residential area.

Developed using Nature Based Solutions, the park reflects a strong environmental concern. One of its main objectives is to function as a large retention basin during periods of heavy rainfall, with the capacity to store up to 10,000 cubic meters of rainwater – an important measure for adapting to climate change.

With a carefully planned landscape, the space includes water mirrors, streams, 900 planted trees and more than 700 preserved trees. It also offers more than two kilometers of walking and cycling routes accessible to people with reduced mobility.
