Parco delle Cave, Urban park in western Milan, Italy.

The Parco delle Cave is a large public park in western Milan with four man-made lakes, woods, walking paths, and streams that connect different natural spaces. The site also features gardens and open areas where visitors can walk and spend time outdoors.

Gravel and sand extraction from the 1920s created five quarries here: Cabassi, Casati, Aurora, Ongari and Cerutti. After the pits closed in the 1960s the area was abandoned; Milan's 1976 master plan designated it as parkland. Works began in the early 1990s, and in 2002 a public festival opened the park.

Cascina Linterno, documented in a parchment of 1154 kept in the canonica of Sant'Ambrogio, served as a hostel for pilgrims on the Via Francigena run by the Templars, then became a grangia and a small borgo. It stopped farming in 2002; a small honey production continues and an association watches over the borgo on via Fratelli Zoia.

The park lies in western Milan, ringed by the Baggio, Sella Nuova, Quarto Cagnino and Quinto Romano districts, and is reached from Via Fratelli Zoia, where the Linterno farm stands. The four quarry lakes cover 29 hectares, so paths run along their banks rather than across them. The wooded and agricultural part is managed by four farms grouped in the Agriparco, which keeps the marcita meadows irrigated by a fontanile.

The lakes cover 29 hectares in total, and the park's water is fed by Ticino water brought through the Canale Villoresi. Italia Nostra, which managed the park from 1997 to 2009, left fallen and dead trees in place as niches for the ecosystem's renewal.
