Parco Gino Cassinis

Parco Gino Cassinis is an urban park in the Rogoredo district featuring paved pathways, walking areas, and a variety of trees including maples, elms, and weeping willows. The park is organized with clear circulation routes and open spaces for recreation.

The site originally belonged to Chiaravalle Abbey, where monks cultivated rice fields beginning in the 16th century. It was transformed into this park in 1978, marking a shift from agricultural land to urban green space.

The park is named after Gino Cassinis, a significant figure in Milan's history who served as mayor and led important local institutions. His name reflects the city's way of honoring those who shaped its development.

The park can be entered from Via Fabio Massimo and Via Cassinis, with areas designated for picnicking, dog walking, and cycling. The pathways are well developed, making it easy to move around and enjoy different types of outdoor activities.

The site was once planned to be a port connecting Milan to the Adriatic Sea. That ambitious old plan is still remembered in the name of the nearby metro station Porto di Mare.
