Sempione Park (Parch Sempion in Milanese dialect, IPA: [ˈpark sempjˈuːŋ]) is a green area in the city of Milan. Built at the end of the 19th century on the area previously occupied by the Piazza d'armi, it covers an area of 386,000 m2 (4,150,000 sq ft), completely fenced and under video surveillance.
The name derives from Corso Sempione, the road axis built in the Napoleonic era on the route of the historic Seprio road, with the new Porta Sempione heir to the Porta Giovia.
