Discovering Anconella Park by bike: nature, playgrounds, and bike paths

What Awaits You at the Park?

  • Children’s Playgrounds, for moments of fun in safety.

  • A skating rink, to take your first steps on roller skates.

  • Fields for soccer and basketball, ideal for an outdoor sports match.

  • A wall for free-climbing, to challenge yourself in an original way.

  • Drinking fountains to refresh yourself during your ride.

  • Equipped areas for picnics, perfect for a tasty break surrounded by greenery.

Routes for Every Type of Bicycle

The park is easily accessible thanks to the dense network of bike paths in Florence. Inside, the following have been created:

  • tracks suitable for city bikes and mountain bikes (MTB),

  • a special track for stunts on BMX,

  • smooth connections to the right bank of the Arno, allowing cycling loops that extend along the river, on Lungarno De André, and lead back to the starting point without interruptions.

A Green Oasis Just Steps from the City

The Anconella Park is also known as Parco Albereta-Anconella: it stretches between the Arno and Via di Villamagna, between the Da Verrazzano and Varlungo bridges. Its name recalls the white poplars of the historic tree-lined avenue, still visible today. In the lower area, some narrow sections are managed by the aqueduct, while the actual public portion is a green trapezoid about 500 m long and between 100 and 200 m wide, with a small water basin. The area also contains World War II bunkers, still well preserved.

  1. Guaranteed Fun — activities for all ages and interests.

  2. Excellent Cycling Mobility — smooth routes and extensive connections along the Arno.
