last update: december 2025 sources: Città di Torino
The urban area of Meisino Park will be regenerated through the development of new sports facilities aimed at promoting integration and social inclusion, as well as through the rehabilitation and regeneration of the existing buildings within the area of the former military racecourse, currently in a state of abandonment. These buildings will be repurposed to host a centre for sports and environmental education, accommodating educational activities addressed to schools.
The project also includes the creation of three new themed playgrounds for children (nature, balance, climbing) and two equipped fitness areas. In addition, the rehabilitation of the canopy on the Borgata Rosa side, currently lacking maintenance, is planned through the construction of public restrooms and storage facilities for equipment used in school-based sports initiation programmes.
A cycle–pedestrian footbridge will be built to connect the two parts of the park, currently separated by a high-traffic roadway (Corso Don Luigi Sturzo). The new connection will link the two green areas and provide a more accessible and pleasant route than the existing underpass beneath the dam bridge, and one that is better suited to the VenTo cycle route.
The project also includes the construction of a new embankment, allowing for the raising of critical sections of the Meisino riverbanks, serving both as a cyclocross track and as flood protection infrastructure.
The redevelopment is supported by PNRR funding.
