The park was developed on the site of a former quarry, an example of industrial site remediation into a recreational space.
The central lake is a direct remnant of the excavation activities that took place on this land before the park's establishment.
The park integrates with the local Lambro Valley greenway system.
The terrain is specifically designed to manage stormwater runoff for the surrounding Brugherio residential area.
Increa Park is a reclaimed industrial area transformed into a sprawling municipal park in Brugherio. The park covers approximately 30 hectares, centered around a large artificial lake created by former gravel extraction activities. It features diverse ecosystems, including wooded areas, expansive meadows, and dedicated wetland zones for local wildlife. A network of pedestrian and cycling paths connects the various sectors of the park. It serves as a significant green lung for the densely populated Brianza region. The site includes designated recreational zones for sports and leisure activities. The lake acts as the primary topographical feature, influencing the local microclimate and bird habitats.

Bring insect repellent during the summer months due to the proximity of the lake and wetlands.
Utilize the paved perimeter trails for easier access if it has rained recently, as interior paths can become muddy.
Carry your own water as drinking fountains are limited throughout the large grounds.
Do not attempt to swim in the lake, as the water depth and quality are not managed for recreational swimming.
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times; noise levels should be kept low to avoid disturbing local fauna.
