Parco Gioeni, Urban park in Catania, Italy.
Located at the northern end of Via Etnea, Parco Gioeni spans 7.5 hectares of land with Mediterranean vegetation growing on volcanic soil.
The initial proposal for constructing the park emerged in 1931, but construction began in 1972 following multiple funding phases from the Sicilian Region.
The park organizes multiple events throughout the year, including the Zanne Festival, Teatro di Paglia performances, and the Catania Bike Festival.
Visitors can enter through Via del Bosco entrance and find facilities including children's playgrounds, benches, walking paths, and a designated dog exercise area.
Ancient Roman aqueduct ruins intersect the park grounds, creating an archaeological trail system built from Mount Etna's lava stone.
