Traveler reviews
Marco Moretto
★★★★★2 years agoArea attrezzata funzionale alla ginnastica. Un po' di manutenzione in più non guasterebbe ma non ci può lamentare per attrezzi all'aperto! Per favore genitori evitate di farci giocare i bambini che scassano gli attrezzi! C'è il parco giochi a due passi!
Christian Franceschini
★★★★★4 years agoSi tratta di uno spazio dedicato alla ginnastica posto in un contesto più ampio: "Le Piagge". Si tratta di un area posta all'interno di una zona immersa nel verde, lungo il fiume. Ci sono diversi attrezzi da poter utilizzare liberamente e gratuitamente che permettono di lavorare su tutto il corpo. Alcuni attrezzi, alle volte, non funzionano benissimo.
