sitting areas
I think "sitting areas" best reflects the idea that these are not pedestrian through-ways, or "recreation spaces" for active recreation, but places to...park your butt for a while.

"A intervenção incidirá nomeadamente na zona de lazer/recreio, nas zonas de estadia e nas áreas de circulação, com o objectivo de promover uma confortável e segura circulação pedonal e automóvel... Será também construída uma pequena praça para circulação e zona de estadia, usufruindo da vista sobre o vale, dado que se trata do ponto mais alto da intervenção."
