Como em todas as colectividades, encontramos gente genuína que dá o seu melhor em prol da comunidade local. Nesta associação em particular gostei da decoração com imagens gigantes da freguesia do Vau e de Óbidos. E se a paixão que estas pessoas têm pela sua terra se medisse com fotografias, então não caberiam no interior deste lugar tão bem cuidado. Instalações 4 estrelas Atendimento 5 estrelas

Excelentes instalações com boa manutenção. Bar, zona de lazer com bilhares e um amplo salão multifuncional que permite festas, espectáculs de música ou teatro e ainda e tem 3 campos de pickleball, pena a sua pouca utilização.
