Are there any childrens playgrounds anywhere near cvo?

there used to be one at the top of the hill by the church overlooking CVO beach, probably still there

and there's one near the skateboard park in Lagoa

The one by the church is still there and there's also one in Ferragudo by the stream.

Make sure you slap loads of sun cream on, not a hint of shade in sight!!!!

Also one on the roundabout in Lagoa ( turn off before the main road goes to Portimao)just before Pao and Acucar,

There's a great one by the river carpark in Silves.
