This 27-acre park stands on the former area of Innocenti-Maserati industrial complex. It was opened in 2004 and it’s now known as the Water Park.
In this green area, several contrasting features are blended together in an eye-catching continuum – the Eastern ring road, the Lambro River, the skeleton buildings of one of the most important and profitable local industrial activity until 1933.
Several different plans for thorough restoration and reconstruction of this are have already been devised, but in the meantime, visitors can enjoy table tennis courts, a soccer field, a basketball court, two dog areas, some children’s playgrounds, a pond in the countryside, and a nice tree-lined avenue that connects the garden to the nearby residential buildings. There’s even a square with a fountain designed by architect Paolo Caccia Dominioni.

Strolling along the Lambro River, visitors can also enjoy a picnic area.

The tree-lined central avenue, Viale dei Platani, is made of a double row of London plane trees, (Platanus hybrida and Populus nigra “Italica”), while gramineous plants, hygrophilous, herbaceous, and indigenous species can be found near the Lambro River. Several wooded spots feature locust trees, hornbeams, field maples, ashes, oaks, white willows, and alders.
