The park is adjacent to the homonym [[Adda (river)|Adda]] river and characterized by 30 reconstructions of prehistoric animals (inclusive prehistoric men), hundred semi-liberty wild animals, a botanical itinerary with plants signalled, natural environments (as: a swamp, lawns, lakes, etc.), picnic reggeds areas, café, playing parks, a labyrinth, shows fossils, etc., the all along a shaded course. |

The first jobs of realization of the park go up again March 1976, which lasted two years. From the '76 to the '78, besides the jobs of realization, were iserite the prehistorical animal reconstructions, scientifically realizes with attention, in the end that seemed true animals. In fact, was possible to create these reconstructions beginning from the [[skeleton]]s [[fossil]]s recovered in various international sites, in which were well studied and analyzed the details, as the muscularities, the fleshy parts and the skins; in this way, was possible to realize some models in miniature, followed by reconstructions in [[fibreglass]], every to natural greatness, just as these animals million of years ago appeared. |

=== Park Flora === |
|||
Along the [[Adda (river)|Adda]] left side, the park offer the possibility to know the vegetation of partial wooded formations, as the Northern Italy forests has been subject, for many centuries, to the various agricultural activities, reclamations and deforestations. In this line of the river is, in fact, possible to find the last hems of the primordial forest, characterized by deciduous [[leaf|leaves]]. The park wood entertains, also, intermixed kinds woody, as: [[Populus|poplar]]s, [[elm]]s, [[Gleditsia|locust trees]], etc. Even if the park suffers the infiltration of other wild kinds (how [[Viola (plant)|violet]]s, [[Primulaceae|primroses]], [[Crataegus monogyna|hawthorn]]s, etc.) and of the ancestral cultivations, its brushwood is nearly valuable. |
|||
=== Wood === |
|||
The park wood is a mixture of latileaves deciduous. The forest structure is divided in three layers: arboreal, shrubby, grassy. The arboreal is constituted from plants to tall stem (over the 15 m of middle height). The trees foliage of this layer give a seldom continuous coverage, giving the impression of an open forest. The shrubby layer is characterized by plants to varying height (from 1 to 7 m). The grassy layer is constituted by various kind, among which climbing kind too, how the [[ivy]]. |
|||
=== The swamp === |
|||
In the terminal part of the course, there is a swamp, consequential from the near herons lake (lago degli aironi). It is characterized by an ample curve, evolved in the time with the detachment from the quoted lake ([[meander]]). Here it is possible to admire the vegetation on the sides too, characterized from: [[willow]]s and [[larch]]es; the rest is aquatic vegetation, characterized from: [[Nymphaeaceae|water lily]]s, [[Tropaeolum|nasturtiums]], etc.; in the muddy parts are noticed: [[cattail]]s and [[Reed bed|marshy reeds]]. The rest of the vegetation, present in the center of the swamp, is constituted from: submerged plants, cried plants, semicried plants, reeds, etc. |
