A very large and beautiful park in central Milan. It reminds me of a smaller Golden Gate park…read more Lots of great sites and greenery to view. There are activities for the kids to do, and mini rides. Lots of statues as well. Very clean for Italy as well. It's not the largest park, but still very large if that makes sense. Overall, a nice detour from all the hustle and bustle of the city.

Parco Sempione is such a gem of a park! This was my favorite place to visit while in Milan. I…read morevisited this park multiple times during my trip, and every time was magical. This is a huge park that's filled with several of Milan's prominent landmarks as well as a plethora of beautiful green space. The park often holds large events and gatherings. I came during the May Day celebration and watched the live performances and colorful parades. Everyday there was a different live performer in the park, all were so talented and entertaining. The walking paths are fun and relaxing. This is an excellent place to take a walk and admire the scenery around you. I also have to mention how friendly the people are here. I met so many great people at this park, from locals to other visitors. So many amazing picture opportunities here too. The green spaces are so gorgeous! From the ducks swimming in the pond to the lovely wildflowers; there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Your steps away from the castle, the clocktower, and the beautiful arch. So many sculptures in the vicinity to check out as well. Picnics are popular at this park as is people watching. You'll find street vendors on site selling souvenirs, handmade arts and crafts, and delicious street food. I mean, you can never get bored here honestly. There is always something going on and always something to do.

So....mapped a route headed to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and then wandered along the way. After saying a prayer in Chiesa di San Gregoria Magno (of course, I had to go inside), our family walked through what initially looked like a preschool. Instead, we had found this gorgeous park. Established in 1784, it is the oldest city park in Milan. Today it covers 43 acres and includes museums, gardens, statues and monuments like the Planetarium and the Natural History Museum. The park was renamed in 2002 for Indro Montanelli. He was a popular journalist who relaxed in the park on his daily travel to work. He was shots by a terrorist brigade in 1977. His statue is placed where this event occurred. Take time to explore Milan. You may venture and find a local gem, like this public park, along the way.

This afternoon, it…read morewas walking from the Pinacoteca di Brera to the Galleria d'Arte Moderna when I visited this public garden. The park was established in 1784 and is 42 acres in size. Dense with trees, paths, benches and a few spots where dogs are permitted to be off leash. Inside the park are the Planetarium, the Natural History Museum and more. The park includes a large number of monuments and memorials. The Modern Art Gallery is adjacent. I was here for a good hour before and after my visit to the Art Gallery. It's a comfy spot to people watch. [Review 10719 overall, 487 of 2019.]

I cannot speak for evenings, when judging from the other reviewers the scene gets a little sketchy, but on a Saturday morning the fenced play area is pretty clean. Doesn't offer a lot: a climbing structure with bridges, two swings and some spring riders. Some seating in the shade is very welcome in the summer. A water fountain is nearby and, as in 99% of milanese playgrounds, there are no restrooms.
