This is an expansive space outside the historic center, sandwiched between two of Florence's main residential neighborhoods, Campo di Marte and Le Cure. Green spaces are already enough of a rarity in Florence, but as a bonus, this one's got a duck pond!
If you're a runner, jogging through the streets of central Florence dodging tourists feels a little ridiculous. Here, though, there's plenty of space for a workout, plus the scenery is nicer than in the Cascine. Don't run? Take a book and be warned: the combination of the serene surroundings and pleasant weather may lead to unintentional napping!
