Vettabbia Park, Nature park in southern Milan, Italy.
Vettabbia Park is a large nature area in southern Milan with walking paths, meadows, forests, and wetland sections. The space offers cycling and outdoor activities with multiple entry points that make it easy to explore the different zones.
The parkland was once farmland that fed Milan's communities for centuries through harvesting and cultivation. This rural heritage remains visible today in how the space has been shaped and maintained.
The park serves as a space where Milan residents connect with the countryside right at the city edge and understand the importance of green areas in daily life. Visitors can watch how people use the meadows and paths as meeting places that anchor them to nature.
The park has multiple entry points that make access straightforward, and works well for both walking and cycling. Keep in mind that trails through wetland areas can be slippery, especially after rain.
The park is threaded by the Vettabbia River, which is cared for as part of the ecological system and shows how water shapes the surrounding land. This water network is not always obvious but gives character to the entire place.
