Participatory Budget of Lagoa creates street workout park in Praia da Angrinha

Project cost 20 thousand euros

Praia da Angrinha, in Ferragudo, now has a park of street workout, equipment intended for the practice of physical exercise in the open air that was recently installed by the Chamber and which results from the Participatory Budget of Lagoa.

This investment of around 20 thousand euros is the result of a proposal presented by a group of young people, implemented in the field by the Portuguese Association of Street Workout e Parkour.

The involvement of this association «allowed the municipality of Lagoa to guarantee the quality of the equipment, compliance with safety standards, as well as to find one of the best solutions on the market».

The Participatory Budget is an initiative that takes place annually in Lagoa, since 2014, and which provides the population with 300 thousand euros for the implementation of proposals that are presented and voted on in the PB sessions and, later, put to the vote of the population.

«I have to thank these young people for their participation in the Participatory Budget, which made it possible to implement more of this equipment in the municipality, which is important to keep it active and healthy. We will continue to promote the civic participation of Lagoa residents and together make the municipality of Lagoa an increasingly better municipality to live, work, study or visit”, said Luís Encarnação, Mayor of Lagoa.
