Parque do Covelo, Public park in Paranhos, Portugal
Parque do Covelo is a public park in Porto featuring open lawns, walking paths, and several sports facilities spread across the grounds. The space includes children's play areas and designated courts for various recreational activities.
The grounds belonged to the Covelo family estate and received their current name after being sold in 1829 to Manuel Pereira da Rocha Paranhos. This ownership change set the stage for the land's eventual transformation into a public recreational space.

The park is accessible year-round during standard daytime hours, with main entrances open throughout the day. Visitors should know that certain areas, particularly children's play zones, may have their own specific time windows.
The grounds feature specialized dirt jump and mountain biking tracks built specifically for riders seeking off-road experiences within the city. These dedicated facilities attract enthusiasts from across the region looking for technical riding opportunities.
