The winter ice skating rink at Parco Formentano
Every winter season, Parco Vittorio Formentano, known to everyone as the park at Largo Marinai d'Italia, transforms with the setup of the ice skating rink of Municipio 4. It is one of the most anticipated events of winter in the eastern area of Milan, a place where the neighborhood gathers to skate outdoors amidst the lights and festive atmosphere.
The feature that makes this rink special is the strong support from Municipio 4 of the Municipality of Milan, which contributes to the costs to offer admission at a reduced price. Skating thus becomes accessible to everyone, from families to children, from teenagers to adults, in a spirit of local sport and community engagement during the coldest months of the year.
Among the unique aspects of the initiative are the special openings dedicated to classes during school hours, designed to support the physical activity of the youngest. The rink thus functions not only as an evening and holiday leisure space but also as an educational resource for the schools of Municipio 4.
Typically set up from December to early February, the rink at Parco Formentano is now a recurring event on Milan's winter calendar. In the final days of opening, special promotions are often planned, including free admission, to bid farewell to the season with a grand ice celebration.
For those living in Milan, it's an opportunity to experience winter outdoors without leaving the city: an ice rink in a historic neighborhood park, with prices designed for families and the authentic atmosphere of a neighborhood celebration.
The 2025/26 winter season saw the rink at Parco Vittorio Formentano open from December 8, 2025, to February 4, 2026. Thanks to the contribution of Municipio 4, admission was reduced to 5 euros for the first hour (skate rental included), with additional hours at 8 euros. The rink welcomed families, children, and teenagers, with special openings dedicated to schools during class hours. On the final days of opening, admission was free to bid farewell to the season.
