Traveler reviews
Siu Y Lo
★★★★★6 months agoI loved the abundance of palm trees in the park, which made the park look very tropical. The park seemed well-maintained when I visited on 5 February 2026, as there was not much rubbish on the ground or plants, and the plants all looked quite healthy with no or just a few yellow leaves. The park was well used at the time of visit and there were children playing around the bushes.

★★★★★a year agoA small but amazing park with fruit juice vendors, lots of different palms and a large fountain. The cathedral of Palermo is also right around the corner!
