Boscoincittà, Urban park and green library in western Milan, Italy
Boscoincittà is an expansive park in western Milan that mixes open meadows, wooded areas, and water features. Throughout the grounds, local residents maintain gardens and agricultural areas that create a working landscape.
Italia Nostra environmental organization created this park in 1974 on land donated by the City of Milan. Thousands of volunteers built and developed the site, establishing the foundation for how it operates today.
The local community plays an active role in maintaining gardens and green spaces throughout the park. This hands-on participation shapes how people experience and care for the land around them.
The park is open year-round and easy to walk through with open meadows and clear paths. If you plan to use picnic or barbecue areas, contact the park ahead of time since these facilities require advance arrangement.
The park maintains an active beehive where regular beekeeping courses take place. These classes run in partnership with the Italian Beekeepers Federation and introduce visitors to how bees function in urban settings.
