The park in brief

Located to the south, next to the Naviglio Grande, the Gonin Giordan park is suitable for individual and team sports, such as basketball and five-a-side football. Among the tree species present, we remember the holm oak, the Turkish hazel and the great ash. The park is periodically monitored by the GEV.

History and architecture

The garden was created as part of the Urban Redevelopment Program of the former abandoned area of the Scac and Scaffolding Dalmine industries.

The new green space consists of a portion of territory between 50 and 100 meters wide and up to 700 meters long between the straight line of via Bisceglie and via Giordani and the new residential district of via Gonin. The park develops like a large green boulevard, mostly lawn with trees and shrubbery, not fenced.

In the center of the largest part of the park, near the San Cristoforo station, there is a ring of red asphalt, which can be used as a skating rink, athletics track or as a small velodrome. In the southern area, where the park ends, the new Giordani/Gonin overpass begins which goes beyond the railway line and the Naviglio Grande, connecting Milan with Buccinasco where there is a small play area near the recent buildings.
