The Ulmo pine forest hosts a picnic area and extends for about ten hectares. Among trees (including the Aleppo pine) and Mediterranean scrub, there are paths, paths, wooden tables and benches. It is an ideal place to spend a day with friends, relatives and family. The pine forest is quite dense and guarantees shade and fresh air even on hot summer days. There is also a kiosk-bar with lovely wooden tables and "decorated" trees.

The planting of the pine forest dates back to the agrarian reform of 1950, after the expropriation of landowners and the assignment to farmers of one hectare per family, intended for the cultivation of vineyards, orchards, vegetable gardens, olive groves and gardens. The laborers could have had a piece of land of their own, a house and shelters for farmyard animals. The area of the Ulmo pine forest, being rocky, was impossible to be assigned to farmers and therefore the happy intuition of creating a green lung for the city. From the testimonies of elderly people, we learned that the park was created by prisoners, who served their sentences in public social services.

Very beautiful and well-kept pine forest, obligatory stop on the cycle path. The internal trails are short but fun. There is a fountain with drinking water
