The park is built on the footprint of the Stadio Comunale Matusa, which hosted professional football matches from 1932 until 2017.
The name 'Matusa' is a local dialect term derived from 'Matusalemme' (Methuselah), referring to the old age of the stadium prior to its demolition.
The transformation into a park was part of a major urban regeneration project aimed at reconnecting different sectors of Frosinone's city center.
The layout preserves some of the original site's alignment, allowing visitors to walk on the ground once occupied by the historical football pitch.
Parco Matusa is a modern urban park constructed on the site of the former Matusa Stadium, which served as the home of Frosinone Calcio for over 80 years. Spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, the park functions as a central green lung for Frosinone's urban center. It features wide pedestrian paths, manicured lawns, and integrated landscape architecture that replaced the stadium's concrete structures. The park incorporates areas for outdoor fitness, children's play equipment, and designated zones for community events and concerts. The project, inaugurated in 2018, was designed to revitalize a formerly industrial and sports-oriented district into a public recreational space. It is fully accessible and serves as a popular social hub for local residents, particularly families and joggers.

Visit during the early evening to see the park illuminated, as it is a common gathering spot for local social life.
Check local community boards for outdoor cinema or concert schedules often hosted in the central open area.
Do not expect heavy forest cover; the park is largely open and exposed to sun, so sun protection is recommended.
