I would probably have given this park 5 stars had we been able to ascertain how to enter and find the Roman Appian way ( that was the whole reason for the visit). It is not clear on the website that the Appian way is in part still a busy road with very narrow paths against high walls, not advisable to walk on and would probably advise visitors not to cycle without helmets at least, and the ability to stay on a bike whilst being closely passed by all sorts of fast traffic. There looked to be many fantastic sites further down the road and aqueducts in another part of the park but with temperatures nearing 40° I wasn't prepared to walk the several km to reach the archaeology. We went as far as Saint Callixtus and saw the catacombs.

We rented bikes from Marco's bike shop at Via Appia Antica, 60 which is just inside the park. A lifelong dream and seeing it on a bike is the best way. We had arranged a tour which was inexpensive and it turned out it was a great historian guide Martin and us two. They provided electric bikes which make it easy. At one point we had to stop to allow hundreds of sheep and goats across the road guided by a shepherd and two sheep dogs. Perfect day in Italy will never be forgotten!

This was an amazing park to visit while in Rome! The nature and scenery was incredible and it was something I was not expecting to see so close to the city. There are some structures scattered throughout the park while walking around and I happened to catch a farmer feeding their sheep’s as well! It’s a great place to just relax outside and get away from the noisy city. There’s plenty of rabbits, birds and other wildlife and benches to sit on.

Un autentico polmone verde della città di Roma. Non sembra neanche di stare in città. Ampio, alberato, vario nei percorsi, offre un ottimo mix di zone di prato al sole e zone alberate all'ombra, che lo rendono fruibilissimo in ogni stagione. Molte aree archelogiche all'interno del parco. Ottimo anche per un giro in bici o per una corsetta. Vi è una zona off limits per i visitatori in cui è stato ricreato un habitat ideale per gli uccelli: laghetto con vegetazione incolta. Si può osservare i comportamenti degli uccelli da lontano in silenzio con un binocolo. Come al solito per Roma il limite del parco è la parziale incuria da parte delle istituzioni competenti, cui si unisce la grandel inciviltà di parte dei frequentatori. La situazione è meno drammatica di altri parchi di Roma, ma una piena valorizzazione del parco non c'è. L'area giochi per bimbi è parzialmente dismessa per sopperire alla manutenzione, inammissibile... Di bagni pubblici neanche a parlarne. Di buono: c'è una bella area recintata per i cani con tanto di fontanella. Comunque nel complesso parco godibile, specie quando non c'è il fumo dei barbecue. Basta organizzarsi per i bisogni e portarsi via, come è giusto, il pattume prodotto, assieme ad altro preesistente, se possibile, per contribuire alla pulizia del parco.

It was very cool to see the original Apian way and to touch the stones that were about 2000 years old. It is an active road, as well, so we did have to look out for oncoming traffic. We parked shortly before the start of the ancient road and then took a short walk along the ancient Apian way. It was very bumpy for a wheelchair, but there was a slightly less bumpy sidewalk on the edge of the Apian way that could be used.

This park is a place where the history and the nature meet, really ancient and unique. You can also enjoy beautiful villas along the way and visit Capo di Bove area for free. It's more comfortable to go there by car. If you go by public transportation you can take a bus near Arco di Travertino metro station and to exit on the final stop near the cafeteria. It runs once about every 40 min.
