Football schools, swimming pools, climbing walls and sports centers where kids can train every week or try a sport for the first time. A good place to start when your kid wants something regular after school, or just needs somewhere to burn off energy on a weekend.
Luís Figo's kids' football school runs birthday parties at its Quinta das Conchas base, on the grounds of Colégio de São Tomás in Alta de Lisboa. A party mixes fun football drills with the Atelier do Figo (drawing and painting), music and traditional games. It suits a group of football fans, with enough non-football play for the friends who would rather paint.
GO fit Olivais is a members' sports club spread over almost 25,000 square meters. Indoors there is a swimming pool and a learner pool; outdoors, a third pool with an open-air sun area. Kids take swimming lessons, join parent-and-child dance and fitness classes, or stay in the free Diver fit playroom while a parent trains. There are also three padel courts and a running track.
Piscina Municipal do Oriente is a city pool run by the Parque das Nações parish council, with a six-lane main pool and a three-lane learning pool with a ramp into the water.
Kids can join weekly swim lessons, water-adaptation classes or baby classes, and families can swim together in open sessions when enough lanes are free.
9.8 Gravity is a bouldering gym with 600 square meters of climbing walls and problems for every level, from first-timers to competition climbers. Kids can join weekly children's classes or book a one-hour first session with climbing shoes included.
Upstairs there is a fitness gym, and the café serves toasties, soups, salads and cakes. It sits in Prior Velho, next to Lisbon airport.
Vertigo Climbing Center fills a former riverside warehouse, converted in 2014, with walls of colorful holds. Kids climb in guided sessions and at birthday parties, and beginners can sign up for courses.
There's a café with a riverside terrace where parents can wait, plus gear rental and a shop selling climbing equipment.
Climb a 12-meter outdoor wall built into the 25 de Abril Bridge. Boulder and auto belay introductions suit first-timers, with sport climbing for kids who already know the basics. Beginner classes run in groups of up to 8, and sport climbing in groups of 2 to 6. The climber pack includes gear; a day pass does not.
