The Radish Cricket
Ground
The Radish Cricket Ground, so named for the crop previously
grown in the field, home of the Idle Cricket Club of Lodi,
is located on the east side of the Adda river just outside
the town of Lodi, at the end of Via Revellino.
To get there when coming from Milan or Bologna you should
head towards the town of Lodi, cross the river via the
bridge in the town centre and immediately turn right just
before the petrol station. After a few hundred metres you
will come to the ‘Circolo Canottieri’, a
private sports and leisure club on the banks of the river.
You must go around the new extension - always keeping the
green enclosure on your right - and at the end of the car
parking zone continue along the earthen track. After going
under the bridge which carries the new urban by-pass, you
continue along the track beside the river Adda for about a
kilometre until you reach the cricket ground - easily
visible on your left.
If you arrive from the north or on the new by-pass (exit
‘Lodi Riolo’) follow the signs for ‘Lodi
centro’ and then, just before the bridge over the
river Adda (after the petrol station), turn left to get to
the ‘Circolo Canottieri’ and from there follow
the instructions above.

route to the ground (in red). The link is to an identical
