Parque de Nova Sintra, Municipal park in Bonfim, Portugal.
Parque de Nova Sintra is an urban park in the Bonfim neighborhood with large green spaces and various tree species including magnolias, eucalyptus, oaks, and palm trees. Walking paths connect different areas where historical fountains are positioned among the vegetation.
The site was originally the estate of the British Wright family and was purchased by Porto City Council in 1932. The transformation into a public park coincided with using the location for municipal water services.
The park contains several historical fountains brought here from different parts of Porto, reflecting how the city developed its water systems over time. Today these fountains serve as reminders of the city's urban past and invite visitors to pause and observe.
The park is accessible during daylight hours on weekdays, with the main entrance via Rua do Barão de Nova Sintra. It helps to visit during daytime to fully appreciate the different areas and fountains throughout the grounds.
The park displays more than 40 different tree species across its grounds, creating a green refuge with notable botanical diversity. This collection reflects the site's earlier history as a private estate where exotic plants were cultivated.
