Carreiro Velho Riverside Park

It is a place where nature and human life coexist in harmony. Located on the banks of a marshy floodplain of the Cértima River, the typical vegetation, the lagoon, and the abundance of water birds that live here, both in summer and winter, make this an ecosystem to be valued and preserved. This leisure area is part of the Ria de Aveiro Natura 2000 Network Site of Community Importance. It is a very popular spot for residents to hold parties and social gatherings, and is equipped with various facilities, including barbecues, tables, toilets, and two areas for bird watching. This space also houses the restaurant A Eira do Pato Ougado, known for its signature cuisine and organic and eco-friendly events.
