Opened in 1975, this park is a place which used to be a marginal, run down area on the outskirts of the city. A recuperation project which begun in 1967 gradually improved the environment and made over 600 hectares of green space. The area has now become a proper city park and a place to breathe in the city. It also has numerous leisure facilities, such as fountains, cycling paths and a seated area and is popular with locals and schoolchildren. There are buildings of historic interest in the area such as the Villa Torretta di Sesto S. Giovanni and Villa Manzoni at Cormano, as well as over 100 plant species here.
