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.

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.

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.
