Novegro-Tregarezzo: Idroscalo, Culture and Walking Routes

Novegro-Tregarezzo has several clearly distinct facets: the Idroscalo in Tregarezzo, Novegro’s trade fair and events profile, and the green spaces and cultural features of the San Felice district. This allows you to set different priorities when planning your trip, without reducing the area to a single attraction.

Water and Sports at the Idroscalo

Tregarezzo is home to the Idroscalo. The basin is supplied by spring water and water from the Naviglio Martesana. At Parco Idroscalo, amateurs and professionals practice more than 20 sports. If you consider sport and water an important part of your trip, this area represents a distinct point of interest in Novegro-Tregarezzo. The combination of the water surface and the varied range of sports makes the Idroscalo a focal point for active days. When planning, you can therefore first decide whether the body of water or its sporting use should take priority.

Arrival and Orientation

For getting to the Idroscalo, the Linate Aeroporto stop on the blue M4 metro line provides a clear point of reference. From there, several entrances to the Idroscalo can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes. These include Magnolia, the Centro sportivo Rugby, the Ristorante Le Jardin au bord du lac, the Piscine Villetta, as well as the Porta Maggiore and Tribune entrances. In the road network, the SP 15bis Paullese begins in Novegro at the intersection with the Rivoltana.

Trade Fairs, Events and Collecting Culture

Parco Esposizioni Novegro is part of Milan’s trade fair system. Trade fairs, events and congresses have been held there for more than fifty years. At the same time, the site is a point of reference for the world of collecting. The Mostra Scambio takes place in Novegro twice a year as a market for vintage cars, motorcycles and bicycles. The cultural offering therefore ranges from larger events to a clearly defined interest in historic vehicles. For those interested in culture, different formats are found side by side here: congresses and events provide the broader setting, while the Mostra Scambio complements it with a specialised market for historic vehicles.

San Felice: Architecture, Green Spaces and Routes

The San Felice district is an archetypal modern suburban neighbourhood from the late 1960s. Its design separates pedestrian paths from roads. The green spaces are available to everyone for pleasant walks away from vehicle traffic. The four circular routes give the walk a clear framework. This allows you to explore the different tree and shrub species step by step and choose the route that fits the time available.

The planting also shapes the character of San Felice: more than 80 tree species and 70 shrub species can be explored via four circular routes described on the district’s website. Another distinctive feature is the Chiesa di San Felice. It was the first church in Europe to use sculptures instead of constructed architectural elements for its furnishings. The international Franco Zampori tournament takes place every year at the Centro Sportivo David Lloyd in San Felice.
