The Jardim do Caracol da Penha is a public garden in central Lisbon, Portugal, created through a community-led movement advocating for the revitalization of a wooded municipal site between the Arroios and Penha de França neighborhoods. The movement proposed transforming the unused green space into a welcoming garden for public enjoyment, addressing the area’s need for accessible green spaces and recreational facilities. The completed garden opened to the public on 14 July 2023.

Covering approximately 10,000 square metres, the car-free garden preserves a densely wooded hillside and includes more than 30 different tree species. Its development grew from a participatory process involving residents and supporters, a public petition, and a proposal submitted to Lisbon’s Participatory Budget. The project received 9,477 votes and was described as the most-voted proposal in the programme’s history at the time.

The movement shares information about the garden’s landscape, history, name, pedestrian access, and planning context.
