Public Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Parco Nord Milano is a regional park in the metropolitan area established in 1975, located in the municipalities of Milan, Bresso, Cinisello Balsamo, Sesto San Giovanni, Cormano, and Cusano Milanino. Since 1983, the park has undergone ongoing reforestation and environmental restoration projects, with a total of over two hundred thousand trees and shrubs belonging to over 100 tree species (Colombo 1998, Colombo & Gini 2008). Its strategic location makes it a "stepping stone," a passageway and rest stop for wildlife (especially birds) en route to and from areas of greater biodiversity. It covers an area of approximately 800 hectares, most of which is covered by meadows with tree-lined strips, groves, bodies of water, and agricultural areas.

Lake Niguarda

Highlight • Lake

Built and inaugurated in 2015, Lake Niguarda draws its waters from the Villoresi Canal and is the largest body of water in the Park.
In 2018, the "Sun Strac" refreshment point was inaugurated, dug into the embankment of the nearby cycle/pedestrian walkway, which welcomes visitors year-round.
The forecourt, with its steps leading down to the lake, hosts water games, theatrical performances, concerts, and markets.
The lake, which has quickly become a welcoming and pleasant landmark, exemplifies the Park's ability to create usable spaces where nature and culture are accessible to all.
