The Lura Park is a beautiful green lung on the outskirts of Milan full of paths

The Lura Park develops around the river of the same name. The idea of preserving this area was born in 1975 when several municipalities in the area joined together in a purification consortium with the aim of diverting the sewage discharges that flowed into the river towards a newly built purification plant. The park was instead established in the 1980s. Half of the park's surface is covered by oak and black locust woods while the rest is made up of cultivated fields. Inside there is a network of over 16 kilometers of dirt roads, tracks and paths that connects the entire valley around the course of the Lura.
