Parco Colonnetti, Urban park in Mirafiori Sud, Turin, Italy

Parco Colonnetti is an urban park in Turin built on the grounds of a former airport and features expansive green areas. The space includes several ponds, wooden bridges, and numerous walking paths that connect different sections of the grounds.

The site was originally established as an airport in 1911 to connect Turin with other Italian cities by air. After flight operations ended, the land was later transformed into a public park for community use.

The park is named after Gustavo Colonnetti, an aeronautical engineer who made significant contributions to Turin's technical development. This naming reflects the site's connection to the city's aviation heritage and scientific progress.

The park has extensive walking paths and benches distributed throughout for resting and taking in the surroundings. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the most pleasant conditions and fewer crowds for enjoying the space.

Between via Artom and strada Castello di Mirafiori stands a geyser of five water jets reaching about 16 metres high. The park also holds three ponds crossed by four wooden footbridges, and more than 3,000 trees and shrubs.
