Spread over approximately 1,200 hectares, this park comprises the floodbanks of the final stretch of the River Secchia to its confluence in the River Po.

Apart from natural habitats, the park has interesting geomorphological features and is dominated by many river meanders and imposing reclamation works. The size of the park, its viability and its proximity to historical and architectural aights make it ideal for cyclists and the cycle paths along the main riverbanks form part of the EuroVelo circuit.
