The Playa Grove is a park that citizens (from mothers out and about with strollers to sportsmen and women riding their bikes) now enjoy on a daily basis. Admission to the park is free and it is open daily with a schedule that encompasses the entire day: in winter the opening is at six in the morning and closing at nine in the evening, in spring from six to ten in the evening while in summer the evening closing is extended until eleven.
The defining element of the park is the vastness of Nature in all its colors.
With its paths, green spaces, turtle pond, and playground, this place is an ideal destination for those seeking an oasis of peace and tranquility a stone's throw from the sea and Catania's historic center.
For a long time it was a forgotten area and left completely to the neglect of time, but today, after an extensive eight-year plan to restore the green space, it has become a protected area and a large park open to the public.
The Playa Grove, which is an important green lung for the city of Catania, has for years provided an oasis of tranquility for its residents, who love to relax and picnic in the company of their loved ones. The playground, with its colorful slides and swings, is just a stone's throw from the sea and is a fun option for children and a perfect place for families who want to spend time in a natural and relaxing environment .
