The park was established on land previously used for industrial gravel excavation, which naturally filled with groundwater.
The local 'Associazione Volontari Parco dei Tre Laghi' manages the maintenance and environmental conservation of the site.
The area serves as a stopover for several species of migratory birds due to its wetland habitat.
The park features a specialized sensory path designed for educational and inclusive exploration of nature.
The site hosts specific 'didactic gardens' used by local schools to study regional biodiversity.
Parco Comunale dei Tre Laghi is a 16-hectare green space in Gravellona Lomellina, characterized by three man-made lakes created through local gravel extraction. The park functions as an ecological oasis, featuring a diverse array of native trees, shrubs, and aquatic flora managed by a local environmental volunteer association. It provides a sanctuary for migratory birds and local waterfowl, making it a site for birdwatching. The grounds include dedicated walking paths, picnic areas, and wooden footbridges connecting different sections of the lake system. It serves as a significant example of post-industrial land reclamation for public recreational use in the Po Valley region.
The wooden bridge overlooking the largest of the three lakes, providing a panoramic view of the water and surrounding greenery.
Bring insect repellent, as the lake environment attracts mosquitoes during the warmer months.
Stay on the marked paths to avoid disturbing the nesting habitats of waterfowl.
Bring binoculars if you are interested in birdwatching, as the lakes host diverse species.
Do not attempt to swim in the lakes; they are artificial gravel pits with deep, cold zones and hidden underwater hazards.
Keep dogs on a leash, take all litter with you, and refrain from feeding the wildlife.
