Bosco di Bruzzano

Bosco di Bruzzano is an urban park in eastern Milan with pathways winding through thick vegetation and mixed tree species. The grounds include a fenced playground, bocce courts, and cycling routes that connect to Parco Nord Milano.

This park was established in 1968 to protect farmland from rapid urban growth during Milan's northward expansion. The creation reflects how the city tried to preserve rural areas as development spread outward.

The nearby Cassina Anna farmhouse from the early 1900s now houses a municipal library focused on ecological subjects. This converted rural building shows how traditional agricultural structures became part of the city's green spaces.

The park has multiple entry points and offers distinct areas for different types of visitors. Cycling routes make it easy to move between this space and nearby green areas.

Himalayan cedars grow alongside red spruces, oaks, plane trees, horse chestnuts, and various maples in the park. This mix of native and exotic trees creates an unusual forest environment within the city.
