A vital element of any
urban
village is its public spaces and parks where
residents and visitors can relax, recharge and interact. The Art District at Rapallo
TM has
many such cerebral spaces. Parco Balbi, the main street Park, with its pond,
rockscapes, trellises, kiosks, and gazebo for impromptu performances lies
along Via Teatro
next to the Live/Work Studios,
Park Lofts, the
Terrace Homes and the
shops and restaurants.
Other neighborhood parks feature dramatic sculptures, romantic fountains or little corners with pergolas and walkways for artistic expression (below). These quiet, passive parks offer lenty of shade and a wonderful resting place after shopping, dining or The Theatre.
