The park is located in an area historically significant for its traditional shipbuilding industry.
The surrounding bay is part of the Tagus Estuary Natural Reserve, a protected wetland area.
The tidal influence in this specific section of the river causes significant water level changes throughout the day.
Amora Riverside Park is a waterfront green space situated on the southern bank of the Tagus River estuary in the municipality of Seixal. The park features a multi-use path designed for pedestrians and cyclists that stretches along the coastline. It serves as a vantage point for viewing the traditional wooden boats, known as 'saveiros,' that have historically navigated these waters. The landscape architecture incorporates local vegetation and open lawn areas intended for recreational use. A wooden pier structure extends into the river, providing close access to the tidal zone. The park is integrated into a wider urban revitalization project of the Amora bay area.
