Traveler reviews
Andrew A
★★★★★9 months agoNice, quiet respite along the Fundamente between Arsenale and Giardini. Nice park with exhibits of sculpture changing every year. Also nice benches to contemplate the artwork. Some sculpture is interactive.

★★★★★Edited 2 years agoAbsolutely loved this place. Came for the biennale but decided to walk along the path which led me to this park. It was extended tranquil, with people sitting on benches and children playing with a scenic view of the ocean. One thing I absolutely LOVED was that there were these little wooden boxes attached to trees with books inside of them. It truly put a smile on my face. I have attached a couple of photos of them.
