A recently created wetland (late 2025) on what was once the Parpaglia farm's hemp maceration plant. A sign (unfortunately already defaced by a few deaf people) explains that the purpose is to provide a natural-like habitat for the amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic birds that once swarmed the park. Aside from its eco-educational purposes, it's a lovely pond, with benches and a bike park, nestled among fields and pastures, shaded by trees, and offering a beautiful view of Parpaglia Castle. A lovely place for a break, a great destination for a day trip.
