Parco di Via Rimini – Via La Spezia

Parco di Via Rimini – Via La Spezia is a green break in Milan's Municipio Six, just north of Famagosta metro station. Via Moncucco bounds it to the west, Via La Spezia to the east, the street where the motorway from Genoa ends. To the north, the ground runs close to the city's outer ring road.

The city laid it out in 1975 on municipal land that environmental rules around the Cascina Moncucco had kept free. That work belongs to the Famagosta district's growth, which began in the 1960s. In 1979, during the International Year of the Child, a leisure centre opened here for children. It has grown into a CAM, one of the multifunctional centres that host social and cultural activity across Milan.

At its edge stands the historic Cascina Moncucco, a farmhouse with a courtyard and a mill. A stream diverted from the Lambro River once powered it. Long years of neglect ended when the Colore association and its volunteers restored part of the building for social promotion work. Silver maples, white alders and red oaks grow across the park. Basketball and volleyball courts, a soccer field and a fenced dog area of 2,500 square metres share the grounds. Two playgrounds serve younger visitors, and one of them, 3,700 square metres, sends children down slides shaped like dinosaurs.
