Vast reserve located a short distance from Piazza Armerina, in the province of Enna. Lake Pergusa and Mount Rossomanno are very important on a naturalistic level.

This area is characterized by breathtaking natural beauty, with hilly landscapes, lush forests and a rich flora and fauna. It is an ideal place for nature lovers and for those seeking a relaxing break from the rush of urban life.

Inside the park we also find a large aviary in which there are various species of birds, there are also fences where Tibetan goats, wild boars, fallow deer and other species of animals are housed, then there is an artificial lake and a tub with turtles inside, all in tune and harmony with the surrounding environment. Parco Ronza offers visitors the opportunity to spend a carefree day outdoors in contact with nature and children the opportunity to run around and play in complete tranquillity. In just a few years, the Ronza Park, diligently managed by the Department of State Forestry Regional Companies of Sicily, has become a point of reference for many Sicilians who intend to spend a day away from the chaos and noise of the city.

Between Enna and Piazza Armerina we find one of the largest equipped green areas in Sicily "Il Parco Ronza" easily reachable from the A19 Palermo-Catania, exit at the Mulinello junction and continue for about 22 km towards Piazza Armerina on the left we find the indication Parco Ronza and a large parking area from which the Ronza Park is accessed through a forest gate. The Ronza Park is divided into various zones, there are areas equipped with barbecues, tables and benches in wood or stone where it is possible to roast meat, artichokes or other things and to have meals, there are areas equipped for the little ones with slides, swings, rocking chairs and optical games, all surrounded by pine and eucalyptus trees.
