Opening of the New Fitness Area at Parco dello Sport Al Maglio, Lugano
The opening of the state-of-the-art Fitness Area at the Parco dello Sport Al Maglio in Lugano marks a significant step in the development of the Parco dello Sport.
The Fitness Area at the Parco dello Sport Al Maglio in Lugano, since last week accessible to the public, is designed to offer an inclusive space for exercise and wellness, reflecting the park’s broader mission to be a green lung and a hub for physical activity in Lugano. Set against the serene backdrop of the River Cassarate and the surrounding natural beauty, the fitness facilities are seamlessly integrated into the park’s lush environment, providing a unique outdoor experience for users.
In our design, the naturalistic elements such as trees, pathways, and the contours of the land are thoughtfully interwoven with the fitness installations. This approach ensures that the built environment complements rather than competes with the natural surroundings, offering a space that promotes both physical and mental well-being.
The project for Parco dello Sport Al Maglio, stretching over 100,000 square meters, in addition to the creation of new sports facilities and three additional football pitches, envisages the redevelopment of the entire area, enhancing its naturalistic components and creating an accessible recreational area open to all, with large green areas usable from the foot of the hill to the river bank.
We invite everyone to explore the new Fitness Area and experience the blend of fitness and nature that the park, designed by the Maglio 2019 team (architecture firm Orsi & Associati SA, LAND Suisse Sagl and engineering firm Lepori SA), has to offer.
