We didn’t plan to visit this park but walked through it just as a way to avoid the many touts surrounding the colosseum. The park has the potential to be nice and it looks like it is from the road but as we ventured further in we found that a lot of the routes were blocked off, the park was not well taken care of and the bins were all overflowing very badly to the point where there was rubbish everywhere that had been blown around. The area didn't feel particularly safe so wouldn't want to walk through there at night! Perhaps due to covid there hasn’t been the time to give it the care it needs (although judging by other reviews it sounds like it is always like this!)

My friend and I just stayed at a small hotel near this park and we walked through this park at all different hours both day and night. This is a residential park so several locals walk their dogs here in the morning, throughout the day and evening. Saturday morning we have breakfast at this little cafe there in the park, several locals go there, called Da Nunzia al Colle Oppio. Children were playing, locals talking, and on that Saturday, Sept 21st a local choir was singing hymns acapella. Police are present off an on in the park, there are areas where there is trash but 80% of the park is clean, there are homeless especially at night who keep to themselves. To me this was a normal neighborhood park you would encounter in any big city and very lovely to visit - especially for the very sweet outdoor cafe!…
