Traveler reviews
Cecilia Gamba
★★★★★4 years agoNice big park outside of Bologna, can be reached by bike from the center with a bike path along the Navile channel. The park has many swings, a couple of playgrounds, a lake with many geese, swans, other birds and large fish, fun for kids to throw crumbles at them from the little "pier". Also basketball field, a carousel (closed when we went) and lots of grass space to roam around. And a cafe. Overall really liked it!!
