A view of the natural surroundings of Parque Felisa in Paterna

Through a phased, sustainable approach, the park brings together active environmental restoration and programs for social inclusion, wellbeing and education. Our action plan is built around experiential learning, community participation and the creation of green infrastructure that reconnects people with the place they live in.

One large, unique, vibrant space: open and inclusive, educational, playful and part of nature.

Parque Felisa

A landmark community space where conserving nature drives social justice and wellbeing.

We are establishing our 65 hectares in Paterna (Valencia, Spain) as a living, interactive platform embedded in the Mediterranean ecosystem.

We want to speed up systemic change across the Mediterranean, taking on the loss of biodiversity and the growing distance between childhood and nature, and putting nature-based solutions to work so that the local environment and the most vulnerable communities become more resilient to the climate.

Connecta Verd

Connecta Verd opens up Parque Felisa to schools as a place to learn through experience, through nature and through caring for the local environment. In activities adapted to each group, young people and teachers explore the Mediterranean ecosystem, strengthen their bond with nature and discover new ways of taking part in conserving it.

Corporate volunteering

Corporate volunteering at Parque Felisa lets companies involve their teams in environmental work that is concrete, useful and connected to what the area actually needs. Over a day of hands-on activity, volunteers contribute to the ecological restoration of the park while sharing a team experience that means something.
