Not far from Villa Mirabello, there is a 5-acre garden, always open to the public, designed by Luigi Griso, built in 1991 and later dedicated to the Italian revue soubrette, actress and singer Wanda Osiris.

The garden was actually built over an underground parking lot in the middle of Via Trescore, Via Veglia and Via Fiuggi; it also features a football field, a basketball court, a playground for children, an area for dogs, benches and drinking fountains.

Trees species in the garden include maples (Acer campestre, and A. platanoides), nettle trees (Celtis australis), ashes (Fraxinus ornus), sweetgums (Liquidambar styraciflua), plantains (Platanus x acerifolia), poplars (Populus x canadensis), oaks (Quercus robur), read oaks (Quercus rubra), black locusts (Robinia pseudoacacia), tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera); shrubs feature cornelian cherries (Cornus mas), and common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna).
