It has a paved runaway along the canal that is secluded from traffic and safe. Ideal for quiet cycling or running. Not recommended for road cycling because of the type of pavement and the narrow fenced pathway, plus the frequent presence of runners or walkers. You can get some nice views of the town and its hills.

The Terramaini canal is a waterway located between the cities of Cagliari and Quartu Sant'Elena, north of the Molentargius pond. The canal intersects with the Rio Saliu, which crosses the city and flows into the sea near the Sant'Elia stadium.
