Parco Colletta

About

Parco Colletta is one of Turin’s most peaceful and spacious green areas, stretching along the banks of the Po River in the city’s northeastern district. Known for its natural, almost woodland character, the park offers wide meadows, dense tree lines, and long paths ideal for walking, cycling, and quiet reflection. Its landscape feels more like a riverside forest than an urban garden, making it a favourite escape for those seeking tranquillity and open space. The park is also home to sports fields, playgrounds, and shaded picnic spots that attract families and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year. Seasonal colours transform the scenery, from bright spring blossoms to warm autumn tones, giving Parco Colletta a gentle, ever‑changing charm. Despite its size, it remains one of Turin’s more understated parks, appreciated for its simplicity, natural beauty, and strong connection to the river environment.
