Parco Gioeni, Urban park in Catania, Italy.

Parco Gioeni is an urban park at the northern end of Via Etnea in Catania that spans a large area with Mediterranean plants growing on volcanic soil. The grounds include walking paths, children's play areas, benches for resting, and a separate space where dogs can exercise.

A city park at the Tondo Gioeni was first proposed in 1931, in a master plan by architect Michelangelo Mancini; the plan was approved in 1942 but stayed on paper because of the Second World War. The executive project was approved in 1972 under mayor Ignazio Marcoccio, and works advanced slowly with three successive grants from the Sicilian Region. The park was completed in the mid-1990s and inaugurated during Enzo Bianco's second term, more than 60 years after the first plan.

The park hosts events such as the Zanne Festival, Teatro di Paglia and the Catania Bike Festival. A skate park used at all hours, maintained playgrounds and dog areas entrusted to private operators keep the grounds busy even without music or sport events.

The park sits at the end of Via Etnea, beyond the busy Tondo Gioeni roundabout, which cuts it off from the street; access is limited. Inside, marked differences in elevation make walking harder, and tree shade is sparse. Paths and structures are built of Etnean lava stone.

Part of the ancient Roman aqueduct of Catania, the structure that gave the Canalicchio district its name, stands inside the park grounds. Its remains are built of Etna lava stone, the same material used for the park's paths and structures.
