Green Spaces: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:48, 24 June 2026

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

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.

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.

Parks
* Street Green
* Playgrounds
* Urban Wilds
* Sport Fields
* Cemeteries
* Agricultural Plots
* Private Gardens
* Vegetable Gardens

== 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.
