The park was designed in the English landscape style, intentionally avoiding geometric symmetry.
It features a rare collection of exotic plants introduced during the late 19th century when the spa town was a destination for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy.
The park acts as a botanical bridge between the alpine flora of the Lagorai mountains and lower-altitude Mediterranean species.
It is protected by strict landscape regulations due to its status as a historical monument of the Habsburg empire.
The park's soil and drainage systems were historically engineered to support tree species that would not naturally thrive at this latitude.
Parco delle Terme di Levico is an expansive 13-hectare arboretum designed in the 19th century as a Habsburg-era spa garden. It functions as a public park containing over 300 different species of trees and shrubs, including rare botanical specimens. The grounds were originally landscaped to provide a therapeutic promenade for European nobility visiting the adjacent Levico Terme spa facilities. The layout features winding gravel paths, historical iron benches, and a dense forest canopy that creates a natural microclimate. It is classified as one of the most significant historical parks in the Trentino region. The grounds serve as a venue for regional events, including local handicraft markets and the annual Christmas market. It is officially managed by the Autonomous Province of Trento to maintain its botanical heritage.
