The park in brief

The garden, inaugurated in 1976 and born from the transformation of a sand quarry, was dedicated in 2018 to Luciana Cella Guffanti, the passionate woman from Affori who fought for a long time for its creation.
At the Favole park - a name chosen by the children of a nearby school - you can see valuable tall trees, including poplars, hackberries, maples, ash trees, horse chestnuts and many species of birds, including migratory ones, and is connected to the North park by cycle/pedestrian path that starts in Piazzale Maciachini.

The flooring is concrete and self-locking.
