Parco Alcide Cervi is a long, linear park situated along the ancient eastern perimeter of Rimini’s historical center. It traces the route of the city's former defensive bastions, known as the Via Bastioni Orientali.

The layout is designed for pedestrian transit and local recreation, providing a shaded buffer against the city's traffic. It serves as a primary outdoor space for local residents, connecting various points of the historic wall ruins.
