The Increa Park covers an area of approximately 330,000 sq m (33 hectares) in the southeastern part of the municipality of Brugherio and borders the municipality of Cernusco to the southeast and a stretch of the eastern ring road to the northwest. Where the park is today, there was once an agricultural area that, from the 1960s, was the site of sand and gravel extraction activities; then, in 1985, thanks to the amendment to the PRG and the agreement between the municipality of Brugherio and some private quarry owners, environmental recovery interventions began, aimed at creating a public equipped park including green areas and a small lake. In 1987, the area was acquired by the municipal heritage and in the following twenty years, the works were carried out that have led today to the largest green lung in Brugherio and its surroundings.

Recently, after vandalism and a period of neglect, it was restored and repainted, restoring it to its original beauty and making it one of the park's symbols.

The Royal Villa's pond features a system of water features that dates back to the Habsburg era, when the Swan Lake was created in the Royal Gardens between 1778 and 1783, designed by Piermarini himself. Along with all the scenic elements characteristic of the English garden created for the palace commissioned by Maria Theresa of Austria, such as the neoclassical temple, the grotto with the statue of Neptune, and the so-called swan house, the artificial pond also featured a hydraulic system to create jets and water effects, which has now been inoperative for decades.
