This page is an overview of all the green spaces in Venice. For a typical green space, see Green Space.

Green Spaces of Venice
File:Venice green spaces map.jpg
Green spaces mapped across Venice and the lagoon
Cataloged (historic center) 1,710
Total area ~2.76 million m²
Categories 9
Public share 16%
Per resident (public) 5.2 m² (WHO target 9 m²)

Venice and its lagoon contain a wide range of green spaces, from large public parks to small street-side planters and private gardens. As of 2026, the Venice Project Center has cataloged 1,710 green spaces in the historic center, covering roughly 2.76 million m², alongside newer surveys of the outer islands. About 16% of this greenery is public, with most held privately.

Green spaces by type

The table below tallies green spaces by category for the surveyed islands. For what each category means, see Green Space.

Category Burano San Michele
Parks 4 0
Street Green 16 0
Playgrounds 1 0
Urban Wilds 1 0
Sport Fields 0 0
Cemeteries 0 1
Agricultural Plots 0 0
Private Gardens 27 0
Vegetable Gardens 1 0
Total 51 1

The historic center holds 1,710 cataloged green spaces. A breakdown by these nine categories is pending recategorization of the older dataset.

Categories

Each category has its own page listing the spaces of that type.

By island

Green spaces have been surveyed across several islands beyond the historic center.

  • Burano - 51 green spaces; much informal street green from residents' potted plants.
  • San Michele - Venice's primary cemetery, with 1,114 mapped trees.
  • Murano, Lido, Sant'Erasmo, and Mazzorbo - mapped for parks, agriculture, and sport fields.
