Lago Nord Park, Nature reserve and urban park in Paderno Dugnano, Italy

Lago Nord Park is a nature reserve and urban park in Paderno Dugnano spanning a large area with a central lake at its heart. Walking paths, green spaces, and natural habitats for local wildlife surround the water feature.

The park occupies a former sand and gravel quarry, reclaimed as green space; its overall plan was drawn up in 1985 by architect Maurice Munir Cerasi, who oversaw the works until 2001, with Enrico Cerasi joining from 1995. In 1999 it received the Council of Europe prize in Strasbourg for the best environmental recovery of a sand and gravel quarry, and in 2003 the Piazza Mercanti award from the Milan Chamber of Commerce for environmental protection.

The park's name comes from the sand and gravel quarry, the "Cava Nord", that once occupied the site; its recovery won the European Community prize for best environmental restoration of a quarry in Strasbourg in 1999. The two ponds are divided by a tree-lined walkway, and the first is used for sport fishing of carp, trout and pike.

Multiple walking trails and cycling paths crisscross through the space and allow visitors to explore different areas easily. The routes are laid out so that you can watch the diverse bird species around the lake.
