The Lombardy Region launched the ‘Aree Sportive Giovani’ (Youth Sports Areas) initiative, a 10 million euro program intended to create and enhance outdoor sports spaces within municipal areas. 

The funding structure includes 2 million euros in non-repayable grants from the region and 8 million euros guaranteed by the Istituto per il Credito Sportivo e Culturale. The program aims to transform public spaces, such as parks and urban squares, into hubs for physical activity and social inclusion. To qualify, projects must feature at least one calisthenics station and three pieces of fixed outdoor sports equipment, with potential additional funding for lighting, video surveillance, and specialized flooring.
