Sandwiched between Corso Massimo d'Azeglio and the River Po, sweeping green-ways make a perfect place to sunbathe, play with the kids or dog, play music and enjoy a beautiful day. On the south end of the park, across from Borgo Medievale, is a beautifully designed garden including many pathways and water features running throughout. Walking the road that runs along the river are many cafe kiosks where you can stop for a sandwich, coffee or soda. The path also dips down toward the river providing places to sit at the waters edge. Be sure to take a walk through the medievale village. Vendors were selling balloons too! On the north end of the park, near the Vittorio Emanuele tram stop, we encountered several people sitting or standing around who appear to be 'scoping out' the persons walking by. On our first visit we walked around this area and followed Corso Vittorio Emanuele to the river. On my second visit I made the mistake of walking toward the tram stop inside the park and was accosted by some of these men. I do not wish to dissuade you from visiting this beautiful park. I just want to caution you, if you get off at this tram stop, walk down the main road to the river to enter the park across from Corso Cairoli or walk south along Corso d'Azeglio before entering.

We had an amazing tour from park guide/ geologist Dr. Donnatella Reggiori. She showed us two paths: one starts from the Mulino del Ghitello to the Mulin del Canaa and the second one form the Mulin del Canaa to Ghitello. The geological contents of the Breggia Gorge makes the park one of the most important geo-topes in Switzerland. Along the river you can see the geology profile that is continuous between the Jurassic and the Tertiary periods. If you look closely, you can see evidence of the ancient seas in the rocks of the Gorge: layers extremely rich in fossils, remains of underwater landslides, witness to climatic changes in eras long before man appeared on Earth, and proof of volcanic eruptions. Dr. Reggiori will give you a full lesson in Geology on the tour. Make sure your kids take notes, they may be able to get extra credit in school :)
