Monte Urpinu in Cagliari is a green oasis right in the middle of the city. The park is a great place to go for a run or to find a fresh spot during summer’s hot days and enjoy the views over the Castle, the port and Poetto beach. We discovered it by chance during a visit to the tennis club, which is set within the park. After a morning of tennis we wandered in the park and were pleasantly surprised by how well the park is kept with a pond populated by ducks, geese and swans. Most of all I was impressed how friendly the wild fauna was with peacock showing off their tails right next to you. The park is scattered with refreshment points and playground facilities for children to run around while you sit back and relax. The park of Monte Urpinu is an ideal place for a picnic if you are travelling with children and need to have a break from all those hours at the beach.
