Trotter park

Trotter Park is a large green space in Milan's Turro neighborhood with a circular path surrounded by varied vegetation and recreational areas. The grounds contain courts for volleyball, basketball, and five-a-side football, plus a theater, two gymnasiums, and multiple children's play areas.

The park was founded in 1924 on the grounds of a former horse racing track, preserving its original curved structure from that era. Educational facilities were later added to the site, including Casa del Sole, a school building designed for children's learning.

The park was named after Carlo Trotter and functions as a gathering place for neighborhood families who use its play areas, sports facilities, and theater for community events. The buildings surrounding the green space show how locals integrate education and leisure activities into their daily routines.

The park is easy to explore on foot and all sports courts are open to visitors for use. Wearing comfortable shoes and checking weather conditions before your visit helps you make the most of the outdoor spaces and recreational options.

The circular road layout exactly follows the original racing track design and is clearly visible from above. Former stables have been repurposed as school buildings, creating an interesting contrast between the site's past use and its present educational role.
