Parco Forlanini

Parco Forlanini gives Milan a broad green setting with tree-lined avenues, open lawns, and varied plant life. The park carries the name of aviation pioneer Enrico Forlanini. It began in the 1970s and includes historic farmsteads within its expansive landscape. Historic farmsteads add a clear link with the area’s past. The Lambro River crosses the park, while Salesina Pond provides habitat for birds and fish. Water shapes the landscape through the Lambro River and Salesina Pond. Paths support running, cycling, and walking, with routes extending towards other green areas such as Idroscalo. These paths connect the park with nearby green spaces. A memorial forest honours the victims of the Linate air disaster and offers a place for remembrance. Quiet woodland and open lawns create different settings within the same park. Together, the lawns, waterways, farmsteads, and paths give Parco Forlanini a varied character within Milan. The setting supports quiet pauses as well as active outings. Its connection towards Idroscalo also gives longer walks and rides a natural continuation.
