Traveler reviews

  • Zoe Costigan

    ★★★★★4 years ago

    Such a cute little play area for visitors to Florence with small children. There is a range of small slides, swings, musical toys and ride on toys. There is a little cabin with toys to play with inside if the weather is poor or you have toddlers which like to build blocks or a train track. In here there is a vending machine for coffee, water, juice and snacks. The park is maintained by the local community voluntarily they are all friendly and welcoming, my husband ended up helping the ladies maintain the hedges during our visit which they appreciated! There are a couple of toilets and baby changing facility 💕
