Running and Hiking
The part of the
Railway Trail that passes through Southampton is a lovely scenic stretch. It's a great trail for running, walking and cycling. The trail goes mostly through dense woodland areas full with spice trees. The trail cuts through the property of Fairmont Southampton Hotel and also goes below the
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse before leading towards a rural stretch in Sandy's.
Children's and Kids Activities
Death Valley Field and Playground is a park located on Middle Road, opposite Terceira’s Port Royal Esso Station. It's maintained by the Parks Department. Such unfortunate name has been given to this nice park because many motor drivers lost their lives on the busy Middle Road near this playground in 1940s and 1950s. There are slides, swings and playing structures for children. You will also find picnic tables and shaded benches, and a large playing field just adjacent to this park. There is no public toilets though. Enough parking is available.
