Parco Il Noce Nero is an expansive network of green spaces located in an area well served by local amenities, schools, and community hubs.
The park’s various zones are interconnected by a network of pedestrian and cycle paths, forming a continuous green corridor that is a pleasure to cross.

The landscape features broad lawns and large stands of trees, interspersed with standalone specimens and flowering seasonal shrubs.
Internal pathways, shaded in parts by avenues of trees, invite visitors to stroll and enjoy the park throughout the year.

A green haven rich in biodiversity

The park is home to numerous trees - including pedunculate oaks, London planes, black locusts, alder, Eastern black walnuts, and horse chestnuts - which together form lush, leafy canopies.
Lining the footpaths are avenues of limes, ashes, hackberries, horse chestnuts, hornbeams, and cherry trees.

An inclusive park where everyone can play

One of Parco Il Noce Nero's defining features is its inclusive playground, specially designed to allow children of all abilities to play, explore, and socialise together through accessible equipment and varied play experiences.
A wide, seamless new footway connects the different sections of the play area.

Two dedicated play zones feature accessible impact-absorbing safety surfacing, incorporating tactile and high-contrast colour elements designed to assist orientation for visually impaired children.

The first zone hosts “Non perdere il filo” (Don't Lose the Thread), a game that guides children along a three-unit activity path, stimulating fine motor skills, concentration, and coordination.

The second zone features an OmniSpinner - an inclusive roundabout that can accommodate several children at once and is fully accessible to wheelchair users.

Beside it stands a kaleidoscope spinner, an inventive play feature whose mirrored surfaces reflect and multiply the surrounding environment, creating dynamic, ever-changing visual patterns.
