Parco Ruffini

About

Parco Ruffini is one of Turin’s most active and community‑focused green spaces, known for its blend of nature, sport, and everyday life. Created in the mid‑20th century, the park stretches across a wide area in the western part of the city, offering large lawns, shaded paths, and open spaces that attract joggers, families, and students throughout the year. At its heart stands the PalaRuffini, a major indoor arena that hosts concerts, sporting events, and cultural gatherings, giving the park a lively and dynamic character. The park is also equipped with running tracks, playgrounds, and recreational areas that make it a favourite destination for outdoor fitness and neighbourhood activities. Mature trees and quiet corners provide a welcome sense of calm, balancing the energetic atmosphere of its sports facilities. Parco Ruffini remains a vital urban oasis, appreciated for its accessibility, versatility, and strong connection to local community life.
