The park in brief

The park, designed for sport and relaxation, consists of two areas. The northernmost part has bowling greens and is equipped as a children's play area, while the southern one, with its long avenues, is suitable for walking and running. Among the trees, the red maple, the flowering apple, the cherry, the mulberry, the catalpa and the red oak should be mentioned for the beauty of their shapes and colours.

The park is made up of two parts: the northernmost portion is the one best equipped with children's games and bowling greens; the other part consists of a strip approximately 500 meters long and 100 meters wide with a large lawn on undulating terrain.

Various sinuous paths cross the space which is interspersed with groups of trees, flowering bushes and flowerbeds.

In the same area, near the Bisceglie stop of the underground line (M1), a new project will lead to the creation of the Blue Park, over an area of ​​over 50.000 mXNUMX.

Main tree species

  • Norway maple (Acer platanoides)
  • red maple (Acer rubrum)
  • catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides)
  • cherry (Prunus avium)
  • flowering apple tree (Malus floribunda)
  • mulberry (Morus spp)
  • liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua)
  • black walnut (Juglans nigra)
  • Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna)
  • red oak (Quercus rubra)
  • sophora (Sophora japonica)
  • wild lime (Tilia cordata).

Among the herbaceous plants, Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana).

Curiosity: tightening the bark of the Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna) in winter transmits heat. Rows of Turkish hazelnuts can be found in via dello Storno.

There is a new, ecological and inclusive play area.
The structures installed, built entirely of certified recycled plastic and designed to be safe and long-lasting, include inclusive games that allow all children to have fun.
