The park features three large bodies of water: Lake Niguarda, Lake Bruzzano, and Lake Nord in Cinisello Balsamo, along with a slightly smaller one housing the Oxy.gen pavilion, dedicated to the theme of breathing. This pavilion hosts conferences and shows, next to the Zambon pharmaceutical research center in Bresso.

Lake Bruzzano is an artificial lake located within the Parco Nord Milano, specifically in the Bruzzano area. Created to manage floodwaters from the Seveso River, it serves as a recreational area with walking and cycling trails, as well as birdwatching opportunities. The lake is fed by groundwater and features an island for nesting waterfowl. In the event of exceptional rainfall, the lake can temporarily retain floodwaters, which are filtered before being returned to the Seveso River. The area is monitored by surveillance cameras, and automatic barriers prevent public access during flood events.
