Parco della Pellerina, officially Parco Carrara, is Turin’s largest urban green space, stretching across more than 83 hectares. Crossed by the Dora Riparia river, it offers a mix of wide lawns, wooded areas and a natural wetland that attracts numerous bird species, making it a favourite destination for walkers, joggers and nature lovers. The park takes its name from a 17th‑century farmhouse still standing nearby, adding a touch of rural heritage to this vast metropolitan landscape. Families enjoy its playgrounds, while dog owners appreciate the city’s largest dedicated dog area. Modern sculptures scattered throughout the grounds introduce elements of land art, enriching the experience with contemporary creativity. With its generous space, easy accessibility and peaceful atmosphere, Parco della Pellerina is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking fresh air and a slower rhythm within Turin’s urban fabric.
