Parco delle Cave, Urban park in southeast Brescia, Italy
Three artificial lakes - Bose, Canneto, and Gerolotto - form the centerpiece of this 69-hectare park surrounded by trees, shrubs, and walking paths.
The area transformed from agricultural land to quarries in the 1960s, with over 60 excavation sites operating until the municipality initiated restoration plans in 2012.
Local associations and community groups actively participate in park management through collaboration agreements, organizing sports activities and environmental education programs.
The park remains open 24 hours daily, accessible via metro stations San Polino or Sant'Eufemia-Buffalora, with dedicated parking areas near each lake.
The park represents the largest urban renewal project in Europe, with plans to expand to 200 hectares through ongoing restoration of former quarry sites.
