Idroscalo in Festa

This large lake, on the eastern side of Milan, was originally built for Mussolini as an airport for seaplanes. Now it is a park for sporting activities and a summer meeting place. Boasting a beach, swimming pools and plenty of open space for walking and cycling as well as other team games, its bursts into life in summer and is a perfect family afternoon with a picnic on a hot day.

Opening times:

1 April - 31 October: 08:00-21:00, 1 November - 31 March: 08:00-17:00.
