The park in brief

The Bruzzano Forest has a cycle path and represents an ideal picnic destination, with its green clearings alternating with groves of oaks, ash trees, poplars and birches. In the park, which constituted the first nucleus of the North Park, you can also admire two Himalayan cedars and from there you can reach the nearby Cascina Anna, an imposing noble residence from the early twentieth century, now home to the library of the same name, which has a section dedicated to the themes of environmental sustainability and ecology.

The flooring is made of concrete, gravel and asphalt; the park is periodically monitored by the GEV.

History and Architecture

The park area, previously an agricultural area, was located in the territory of the Municipality of Bruzzano until 1923 when the latter was annexed to Milan and became a district.

In the Seventies and Eighties, the construction of the Bruzzano Forest first, and then the establishment of the North Park, saved a vast green area from the wild buildings that invaded the north of Milan in the years of the economic boom, increasing the greenery of the area. Not far away, on Via Vincenzo da Seregno, stands a 14th century castle, home of the Visconti family, currently used as a private residence.

Architectural heritage and artefacts

Nearby, to the west, we find the beautiful Cascina Anna, from the beginning of Nocevento, formerly the property of the Visconti di Modrone and of notable stylistic and architectural interest.
