Parco Pellerina

Parco Pellerina, Urban park in Turin, Italy.

Parco della Pellerina covers 837,220 square metres between Corso Regina Margherita, Corso Appio Claudio, Via Pietro Cossa and Corso Lecce, crossed by the Dora Riparia. Its straight artificial lakes hold mallards, coots, moorhens and swans, and a shallow reed-fringed pond formed after the October 2000 flood. Sports grounds, a swimming pool, a BMX track and a roller rink sit among the lawns.

The first proposal for a park dates from the early 1900s, but work began only in the 1930s and continued after the Second World War, reaching its present layout in the early 1980s. The course of the Dora Riparia inside the park was straightened. It is officially named after Mario Carrara (1866–1937), a Turin anthropology professor who refused the fascist loyalty oath.

The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors walk, jog, and spend time together throughout the week. Families can be found picnicking here, and weekends often host local sports groups and community events.

The park lies between Corso Regina Margherita to the north and Corso Appio Claudio to the south, with Corso Lecce to the east and Via Pietro Cossa to the west; the Dora Riparia crosses it. A Carabinieri barracks stands in the south-east part, and a dirt esplanade along Corso Lecce, made in the 1930s from rubble of the old Via Roma, often hosts the funfair, especially at carnival.

The park's name comes from the Cascina della Pellerina, a farmhouse outside the grounds at Corso Regina Margherita and Via Pietro Cossa. One reading links "pellerina" to the pillory where insolvent debtors were publicly exposed; another derives it from "la Pellegrina", pilgrims on the Via di San Michele who lodged here before entering Turin.
