The Sanstino territory was characterized in its southern part by large lagoons and marshes until a few decades ago. Until the first half of the 20th century, these environments proved very harmful to humans, in various aspects, as they were a source of diseases, such as malaria, and were not sufficiently productive. Thus, with major land reclamation works, the land was taken from the water to make it cultivable and to obtain products that allowed many families to live. However, the lagoons were also a huge reservoir of biodiversity with many species of animals and plants that were largely destroyed during the land reclamation operations. It is also for this reason that, within the project for the historical reconstruction of the Bandiziol and Prassaccon woods, it was desired to leave a further mark of what the territory and landscape of S. Stino once were, by creating a wetland area, partly similar to the numerous wetlands once present even within the woods, called "bassone". This intervention is not only an operation of "philological" recovery of the pre-reclamation hydraulic system but, above all, presents a significant environmental value as it reconstructs the natural habitat of various bird species. The small lake is located in the eastern part of the Bosco di Bandiziol, covers an area of approximately 10,000 sq m and has a rounded shape with small islands within it. To better reproduce different lake habitats, the small lake has varying depths, from a few centimeters to over 2 meters, thus offering many bird species the opportunity to find a suitable environment to stay. In fact, in the shallower waters and marginal areas, it is possible to see herons, egrets, plovers, mallards, and other surface ducks. In the rest of the lake, there are divers, cormorants, and diving ducks that find food in open water or on deep bottoms. The islands and the winding perimeter shapes were created specifically to allow the avifauna to hide and find refuge, so that it can be disturbed as little as possible by human presence. In fact, the conformation of the banks and the vegetation (reeds, herbaceous and shrubby vegetation) offer all the necessary environments for the rest, feeding, and nesting of birds.

Large green area, of late-Romantic imprint, designed according to the compositional canons of the "English garden" with an avenue of thick holm oaks, Atlas cedars and magnolias. The horse chestnuts in front of the main entrance are among the oldest specimens of this elegant garden. Since November 2010 it has housed the Museo Itinerario della Rosa Antica (MIRA) which winds around the pond and is enriched by a collection of ornamental grasses. Rest areas allow you to admire the flowers and the pond. The Galvani Park, 350 meters from the center, with activities dedicated to art, the large central lawn, also home to concerts, open-air cinema, folk events, the rose garden and the inclusive play area, is considered the green living room of the city.
