Parco Aldo Aniasi

Parco Aldo Aniasi spreads across western Milan as a large urban park among broad lawns, paths, and trees. The setting was once agricultural land beside Milan’s western urban landscape. Open spaces give you room for picnics and sunbathing, while kiosks provide refreshments within the greenery. Trees include plane trees, maples, and chestnuts.

Established in 1971, the park created a green space within Milan and retained traces of earlier landscapes. Rural buildings include Cascina Bellaria and Cassinetta di Trenno. An area that served as a military airfield during the First World War also contains the British War Cemetery. Commonwealth soldiers from the Second World War rest there.

A running track, cycling paths, and courts for basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, and bocce shape the active side. Skating areas add another way to use the grounds. Together with Boscoincittà, Parco delle Cave, and Parco Montestella, the park forms part of western Milan’s wider green area.
