ミラノの湖・トップ20

Maybe it's Women's Day, maybe it's the first day of Almost Spring, but today even on bikes we're going at a walking pace.

Lago di Bruzzano is an artificial lake situated within Parco Nord Milano, specifically in the Bruzzano area. Constructed to manage floodwaters from the Seveso River, it serves as a recreational spot with walking and cycling paths, as well as birdwatching opportunities. The lake is fed by groundwater and features an island to support aquatic bird nesting. In the event of exceptional rainfall, the lake can temporarily hold floodwaters, which are filtered before being released back into the Seveso River. The area is monitored by surveillance cameras, and automatic barriers prevent public access during flood events.

The park where Lake Niguarda is located is the Parco Nord of Milan, in the Niguarda area.

An artificial lake built in 2015 in the Niguarda district (located north of Milan, bordering the municipality of Bresso).

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.

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 citizens.
