The park was built in the 15th century by the Medici family who grew exotic plants here. It was opened to the public in the 19th century and now it is favored by joggers, horse riders, and families with children. There are also many sports facilities such as tennis and football fields, but also hippodromes and archery fields. An open air swimming pool is also located here.
