parco civico

aurelio2010

Nice walk by the sea, with a lot of greenery and scenic view on the lake. Better viewed under the sun with an ice-cream (available nearby). Nice place to take stunning pictures of the lake and to relax after a buying spree in the city. A bit crowded at times, but that is a good sign i guess. I go there at least a couple of times / month to enlighten my day.

Beautiful walk and a lovely way to get a little exercise. It was interesting to see the trees and how they had been pruned (pollarding). Had never seen that before. Beautiful views of Lake Lugano.

We strolled through the park at dusk on a chilly December evening the park has many interesting botanical species of trees, but they are not labeled. It was fun watching the sun set behind Lugano as the Ducks and swans prepared for the night.

Next to the lake this is just a splendid way to fill a morning walking and people watching.Lots of places to sit and enjoy the lake , watch the boats and swans and pass some time.

We walked through the park on a Saturday and stalls were operating adding to the festive atmosphere. We walked along the lakeshore to the funicular to Monte Bre.

This park is simply beautiful! It is adjacent to the lovely Lake Lugano. There are several types of different person water crafts you can peddle on the lake. You can feed the ducks, geese, swans, or other water foul that come near the shore. The trees, shrubs, and flowers are lush, healthy and well maintained. There is also a LARGE playground area for the children. There are also ample benches for sitting and just enjoying the beautiful mountains in the background. I highly recommend you visit this wonderful "free" experience!

I liked the view to the lake and mountains - nice quiet place to relax and think about eternity =) also in walking distance to the Monte Bre funicular and the historical center. Good variant for good weather - but nothing to do there if it's a rainy day.

I spent a beautiful few hours here enjoying the park. Though not terribly large, it is scenic and even in October, there were still plants and trees in bloom. It was lovely to see people of all ages out and about enjoying the park, walking, reading, talking and enjoying the sunshine. It is conveniently located in the eastern edge of downtown, just past the casino, so easy to get to and well work a visit.

The park is located at the east end of the lake. The park is beautifully landscaped and maintained. Flowers are blooming, even at the end of September. It is an ideal place to sit down, watch the lake and people, and enjoy a gelato.

The "Parco Civico" is just another city park at the boarder of a lake, nonetheless it's beautiful! Aaaand: I really enjoyed the Park&Read (the reason why I had to leave a comment here :-) )! Great idea, loved it!

Right in the center of Lugano, I went there with my wife and kid for a lovely promenade by the lake on a bright springtime afternoon.You will find a great variety of plants and flowers as well as a lovely scenery, you can appreciate the lake from different angles.At the center of the park there is a former estate main building surrounded by multicoloured tulips.Children can enjoy the free outdoor play area towards the end of the Parco Ciani, with wooden equipment like swings, slides, knotted rope, sand area etc.We were also lucky to see an open-air music performance around the gardens entrance.While the park is rather small, its pleasantness makes it well worth visiting.

A pleasant walk round the edge of the Lake. I have no idea why is is number one. It is a small civic park with lovely lake view and a few flowerbeds. Good for and evening stroll and an ice cream. Be careful about these as the ones we had were more like sorbets
