The park occupies an area of 26 hectares to the north of the Avenida da Liberdade and the Marquess of Pombal Square, in the centre of the city.
Its name pays homage to Edward VII of the United Kingdom who visited Portugal in 1902, to strengthen the relations between the two countries. Until that visit, its name was Liberty Park.

 With neatly clipped box hedging flanked by mosaic patterned walkways, it stretches uphill from Marquês de Pombal Square to a belvedere at the top with fine views. 
 The big attractions within the park are the two greenhouses, the hothouse (with the more exotic plants) and the cold greenhouse filled with tropical plants, ponds, and endless varieties of palms and cacti. 
 Opposite from the greenhouses on the eastern side of the park, sits an ornately tiled sports pavilion dedicated to Carlos Lopes, the Portuguese athlete who won the marathon at the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and that doubles as a venue for occasional concerts and cultural events.  ]]> 2016-10-30 13:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/saccassuncao/c9l3pz8e27en/wish/134081599
