Fenced for decades, the green space around the Church of Santo Condesável was redeveloped, giving rise to a new garden in Campo de Ourique. The rose bushes were relocated and replanted in two new beds, the tree gutter railings were removed and obstacles removed.

This new garden has not yet been officially named and, in an effort to involve the population, the Campo de Ourique Parish Council is collecting proposals for a possible name that will be proposed to the Toponymy Committee of the Lisbon City Council.

Subsequently, the most suggested names will be put to a vote by the inhabitants of Campo de Ourique.
