Built and inaugurated in 2015, Lake Niguarda draws its waters from the Villoresi Canal and is the largest body of water in the Park.
In 2018, the "Sun Strac" refreshment point was inaugurated, dug into the embankment of the nearby cycle/pedestrian walkway, which welcomes visitors year-round.
The forecourt, with its steps leading down to the lake, hosts water games, theatrical performances, concerts, and markets.
The lake, which has quickly become a welcoming and pleasant landmark, exemplifies the Park's ability to create usable spaces where nature and culture are accessible to all.

Laghetto of Parco Nord Milano

Highlight • Lake

The creation of an articulated and complex water system, with ponds, lakes, fountains and canals, began in 1992 with the construction of the Laghetti Suzzani and continues today thanks to the construction of the two large lakes in the eastern sector of the Park, in Niguarda and Bruzzano.
Excavations for the construction of the artificial Suzzani lake inside the Parco Nord
Water is a fundamental element for biodiversity and the landscape, and its presence significantly increases the species present: aquatic plants, insects, amphibians, fish, reptiles. The greatest impact is noted on the increase in birdlife: not only have water hens, mallards and coots spontaneously settled and nest permanently, but sometimes you can come across rarer species that prefer humid environments such as the grey heron and the kingfisher.
