Urban parks are privileged areas for leisure and for different formal and informal sports activities, which is quite healthier than exercises in gyms but not yet very common in Portugal.

Sportsmen that come to Portugal from abroad have already complained about the lack of adequate practice areas in the open air, away from traffic, pollution and urban noise.
We just have a fantastic climat for plants to grow fast and beautiful and for people to leisure and sport in the open air, but our government chooses to promote gyms instead of parks... SO SAD!
[The Portuguese Government has recently lowered the gyms' VAT].
