Lisbon and Loures will build a large inter-municipal green park after World Youth Day (WYD)
Loures City Council has already presented its part
which will be implemented between the municipality and the government
The development of the western coastal front
was very different from that of the coastal area between Lisbon and Vila Franca de Xira
If in the first one a close relationship with the sea developed
in the second one there was a historical disconnection between the urbanized areas and the waterfront
rail and other infrastructures associated with an industrial area were installed in the latter
If Expo'98 allowed the whole western part of Lisbon to be opened to people
this urban regeneration did not extend to the rest of the coast
has created a set of pedestrian and cycle paths on its waterfront
environmentalists and the Loures municipality
The void left by the removal of the containers has been adapted for WYD; it will host some of the thousands of pilgrims expected at the final events of the Day
which took place from the stage set up on the Lisbon side
The land will be empty again - this time of the event's specific infrastructure - and will be transformed into a riverside green park
which will have an inter-municipal character.
there has been the idea of establishing a common leisure area but shared between the municipalities of Lisbon and Loures
with the new cycle bridge over the Trancão River as a link
With Lisbon still in some uncertainty about what to do with the land after the event (remember that the initial idea was to extend Parque Tejo
but the decision to keep the stage and reserve that area for large events may change plans)
Loures is sure of what it wants and will move forward with a riverside green park
which will be linked not only to the Loures riverside path but also to Lisbon by the new wooden bridge
to be completed and open to the public by the end of next year
Budgeted at six million euros (3.5 million from the Government and 2.5 from the Loures City Council)
the future green park will occupy an area about 35 hectaresThe site
located between the IC2 and the Northern Railway Line
a result of the territory's industrial past
cafeteria and catering facilities and sanitary infrastructures.
The entire park area will be irrigated with "recycled water" of the Beirolas Wastewater Treatment Plant
thus saving an essential and increasingly scarce asset
It is intended that the park should have areas of shadeguaranteed by the trees mentioned above, but also uncovered areas, giving it some versatility. Ricardo Leão, Mayor of Loures, said at the presentation of the project that he wanted this new park to be a place for people to enjoy. hosting major events such as music festivals, as reported in the newspaper Público
the park will have at least one multipurpose square of about 17,000 square meters and also an amphitheater set into a natural hillside
in addition to the grassy areas already mentioned
The following are foreseen two overpasses under the railway lineThe park will be linked to the urban fabric of Sacavém/Bobadela and also to the railway station
A cycle-pedestrian link to the walkways of the Loures Riverside Path is also planned (the inauguration initially scheduled for mid-August is now planned for the first week of September)
These bridges and links will not be part of the initial contract
The green riverside park in Loures will integrate with the park to be built by Lisbon in the area where World Youth Day will now be held
to be called Papa Francisco Parkas announced on Monday
but the municipality of the capital has been showing interest in reusing the World Youth Day land also for major events
reconciling it with a leisure area and enjoyment of the population
The project on the Lisbon side should be developed by SRU
the first timings announced opening date for the park is the end of 2024

The long-awaited walkway between Vila Franca de Xira and Lisbon's Parque das Nações will open at the end of summer 2023
The much-desired route starts at trancão cycle bridge, which was inaugurated at the end of July 2023
and ends at the gates of the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira
It is now possible to cycle or walk between the cities of Lisbon
on a route with several shaded and rest areas
the councillor responsible for the Urban Planning Department at the municipality said
which has enormous environmental and landscape value
aims to reconnect the population with the River Tagus.”
Loures completed the first phase of this project
with the opening of the section between Santa Iria de Azóia station and the BP pontoon
