Cherry trees, well-tended lawns, and a small area with games for children. You just have to close your eyes to be enchanted by the sound of flowing water, with a small waterfall leading into the lake, and the voices of playing children in the background.

In fact this park is reserved for children, and so adults who wish to enjoy this lovely open-air setting have to be accompanied by a child less than 12 years old.

Once inside, there are all sorts of things to do, such as swings, see-saws and slides, and an interesting botanical route, in order to discover the identity of cedars, cherries and sycamores.

For adults, the atmosphere is ideal for reading, perhaps on the small patio with a domed roof, or on the benches in the park, or again on the steps of Villa Reale, whose internal façade dominates the garden. All positions from where you can keep an eye on the young person accompanying you.
