The park of Villa Ada is the second biggest public park of Rome and is located nearby Via Salaria, outside the Aurelian Walls in the north of the city. It is about 180 hectare large and includes the ruins of the ancient city of Antemnae, situated nearby the confluence of the Tiber and the Aniene, and the catacombs of Trasone and Priscilla.

The old part of the Villa presents some 17th century estates and the noble casino. The park, instead, was arranged only in 1872 by the Savoia and named Villa Ada by Count Telfner, who dedicated it to his wife Ada and then became the owner of the villa.

The core of the park is the Villa Reale, currently seat to the Egyptian Consulate, which presents a woodland once used as a shooting lodge. The park boasts several precious trees like cypresses, privets, European nettle trees, several century-old pines and a rare Tibetan aquatic fir. The casale della finanziera, also located inside the park, is currently run by WWF.

Many young people go sunbathing to the vast lawn of the Villa Ada, known as the “pratone”, especially during the summer. The area often hosts open air events and concerts.
