Ruffini Park is one of the natural open spaces in the city. It is bounded by the Corsi Trapani, Lione, Brunelleschi and D'Albertis. Here you can hire bikes and there are also gymnastic routes to follow which make it a favourite place with athletic types. There are wide avenues and a football pitch where the youth teams of Turin and Juventus play each weekend. Surrounding the pitch is an athletics track where the International Meeting of Light Athletics is held each year attracting better quality competitors each time. Ruffini Park is also home to the Palazzetto dello Sport where volleyball, five-a-side football and basketball teams can play; it also holds concerts of Italian pop music. Festivals are also held at regular intervals outside the Palazzetto.
