    An average park surrounding a small lake with fountains. The water is murky and the peripheral pavement/sidewalk is uncared for, with lots of cracks and damage, so it’s pretty bumpy if you’re passing through with a bicycle or scooter. Unless there’s some event on or the ferris wheel makes an appearance, there’s nothing special about the park. Nonetheless, it’s relatively close to the train station and it’s quiet, making it a nice resting spot before travelling.

    One of only a few open green spaces in Firenze. Lots of shady trees and a beautiful lagoon with a functioning fountain. Nice little stop on your walk around the fort.

    A nice park central to town but nothing special. It has a good looking fountain but the water is somewhat dirty. The surrounding grounds look good from a distance but are not extremely well maintained. It is a safe gathering place filled with locals from various backgrounds which is always welcoming.

    Ugliest park in Italy. Skip this unless you collect cigarette butts.

    Pond was drained when we came today, grass brown and crispy. Benches in poor shape, building work being done in one corner. Probably best to avoid for the time being.

    This is one of very few natural places and scenes in Florence. Untidy,unused and desolate garden.It has a lake , fountain and pathway for walking around the lake.

    Expensive ride and long ice skating ring around pond with a few Christmas stalls all worth a visit

    Garden is very beautiful but there are many Moroccon illegal immigrants who harrass people and steal. Especially, the tram stop is very dangerous. Be careful but enjoy the beautiful and comfortable garden
