Parco La Porta di Lupo Alberto is a themed public green space in the Torrino district of Rome dedicated to the iconic Italian comic strip character Lupo Alberto, created by Silver. The park features thematic signage, recreational installations, and imagery based on the McKenzie Farm setting from the comics. It serves as a neighborhood community hub designed primarily for families, featuring paved walking paths and integrated seating areas. The park is situated within a residential urban context, functioning as a local recreational zone rather than a traditional botanical or historic site. Its design incorporates elements that celebrate the legacy of Italian satire and graphic novels.
Beside any of the primary themed signage or character illustrations located near the main park entrances.

Do not treat this as a major sightseeing destination requiring a dedicated trip from the historic center; it is a neighborhood park.
