I learned about this park after participating in a 10k Run. The place is properly big with various different spaces.

The park is beautifully maintained by the voluntaries of the “guardia ecologica” who are also a friendly and helpful crew.

Many people cycling, walking, running, dogs ...

I come here and I spend hours. You can get lost in tall, lush trees. It's very peaceful. So many earthlings to say "Hi!" to. Dogs would love it! You can also picnic here, play football, cycle.
