Amusement Park Padova: present and past.
2 min read
Until the cursed day (July 6, 2008) in which a whirlwind triggered throughout the South area of Padua, the Amusement Park (opened in 1991 by the entrepreneur Stefano Viviani) was the most popular playground in the city. 25,000 square meters of paradise surrounded by a green area, that included a mega-gym, a swimming pool, bowling, a children’s area, a small square for music and ballroom dancing, a large billiard room, a minigolf and a well-equipped space for bars and restaurants.
Now all this is still there, but the structure is completely abandoned.
The history of the Amusement Park ended around 2012 with a bankruptcy, basically because the Region did not compensate Mr. Viviani, not even one cent of the 600,000 euros of damages suffered, and at the time 3 years had passed from the whirlwind. With the illusion that the compensation money would arrive, the former owner had begun to rebuild and restructure all the sectors of the park destroyed by the whirlwind (in the gallery below the damage of the park, immortalized by our collaborator Danijel in his visit to the abandoned park).
Obviously the entrepreneur indebted himself to restructure, in a short time, the whole area of the park, however his efforts were of course useless.
