The alternative would be to leave your car in the village and take the Viale dei Sogni . This is a flat path, also suitable for prams and cyclists, which runs along a canal and leads to the two reservoirs in about a quarter of an hour. Halfway along, there is a very nice playground .

The Coredo and Tavon Lakes: what to do
Playground
The Coredo and Tavon Lakes, as mentioned, are located in a large green park equipped with picnic areas, a volleyball court, a fitness trail, and a beautiful children’s playground.
The playground is located right at the entrance to the ponds and offers a variety of games, all well-maintained. Swings, seesaws, the zip line which we in Genoa do not have but which, once we tried it, our daughter never left, two castles with slides, and much more.
Here and there are also wooden sculptures of forest animals scattered around the meadow.
Walks
Around the Two Lakes of Coredo and Tavon
You can walk around the perimeter of the lake on a path that is also suitable for pushchairs. Right at the start of the route, you will find the Venetian sawmill, which houses the Wood Museum with many tools used in the past, and still used today, to work wood.
To view the opening hours of the sawmill, you can have a look here.
The walk continues past more picnic tables and grills and various gnomes also carved in wood.
Continuing on, you pass the small dam dividing the two basins and arrive at Tavon Lake. Right at the halfway point, you will find the signs for the Sanctuary of San Romedio: it is a downhill walk through the forest of about twenty minutes.
