The park's wetland system acts as a natural wastewater treatment facility, purifying water before it flows into the Guadalquivir river basin.
It preserves a significant collection of centuries-old olive trees that predate the site's conversion into a public park.
The landscape design intentionally mimics the classic Andalusian 'dehesa' or olive grove structure combined with riparian zones.
Birdwatchers frequent the site to spot species such as moorhens, mallards, and various species of herons that thrive in the created ponds.
The park spans roughly 45 hectares of rehabilitated land that was previously underutilized or industrial.
Parque Olivar del Zaudin is a 45-hectare ecological park in Tomares, Seville, defined by its blend of traditional olive groves and artificial wetland lagoons. The park integrates over 2,000 centennial olive trees within a modern recreational landscape designed for water filtration and biodiversity support. It features a sophisticated system of ponds that serves as a habitat for various waterfowl and migratory bird species. Paved paths wind through the groves, providing direct access to the wetland observatories. The park functions as a green buffer between urban developments and the agricultural lands of the Aljarafe region. Several elevated wooden walkways allow visitors to view the marshland wildlife without disturbing the ecosystem.
