Parco Nord Milano extends for about 600 hectares between the districts of the northern periphery of Milan. Its conception dates back to the late 1960s, but it was only in 1975 that it was recognized by the Lombardy Region as a regional park. Its management is entrusted to a Consortium composed of the six Municipalities around the Park and the Province of Milan. The park is located in one of the most densely urbanized contexts in Europe, characterized by the presence of historic factories (now almost entirely disappeared as a result of de-industrialization) and large housing estates that, over time, have joined the northern periphery of Milan to its hinterland without any urban planning design. Parco Nord Milano currently boasts about 350 hectares of green areas, organized into wooded areas, clearings, rows of trees, shrub patches, hedges, and small bodies of water. Today, the park continues to expand and grow with the working methodology used over all these years, aware of its social, urban, and ecological role. The new reforestation lots, with small saplings of a few tens of centimeters protected by stakes, are the symbol of the growing park, of the investment in the future. But it is the management and maintenance of the green areas that best express the working methodology used: new problems have been met with new, technologically advanced solutions, in order to maintain that standard of quality of the green areas, that care and maintenance, which citizens have become accustomed to seeing, and which make Parco Nord Milano a concrete example of sustainable development for the entire city, similar to what happens in other major European cities. A place of quality, therefore, where technology, creativity, passion, and professional seriousness meet to satisfy the expectations of visitors and respond to the deep needs of the city.

The airport's birth dates back to the years of the First World War, when the nearby factory of Società Italiana Ernesto Breda per Costruzioni Meccaniche expanded its production to the military aircraft sector, thus creating the need for a nearby test runway. During the two wars, the airport constituted the main air defense center of the Milanese area. The airport assumed strategic importance in the post-war period, when it was used by the Regia Aeronautica as the seat of a military flight school and three fighter squadrons responsible for the air defense of Milan. In the southern sector of the airport, Breda also built a wind tunnel for testing its aircraft. The use of the airport by the Army Aviation ended in 1998 with the transfer of the last helicopter squadron. of the 3rd Air Cavalry Regiment "Aldebaran".

The Cascina Centro Parco is the logistical, operational and cultural heart of Parco Nord Milano. Once an old rural structure used as a canteen by Breda workers, it has been completely renovated and is now named after Ercole Ferrario It is located in the municipality of Sesto San Giovanni and is the reference point for educational activities, environmental management and major events related to sustainability

Parco Nord Milano is a large regional protected area that extends for about 790 hectares in the northern suburbs of the metropolitan city, representing one of the main green lungs of Europe in an urban setting. Born in the 70s as an environmental redevelopment project of old industrial areas, formerly Breda, and degraded agricultural lands, today the park touches as many as seven municipalities in the Milanese suburbs. It is a very rich ecosystem made up of large meadows, artificial wooded areas, canals, and bodies of water, ideal for sports, walks, and outdoor relaxation.

The Montagnetta of Parco Nord, officially known as Montagnetta della Breda, is one of the most iconic and historically significant places in Parco Nord Milano. Located in the southern area of the park, it covers about 13 hectares between the municipalities of Milan, Sesto San Giovanni, and Bresso.
