The park's name refers to the 'xunqueiras' or reed beds, which are characteristic wetland ecosystems found in the Galician Rías.
The design integrates reclaimed coastal land that was historically used for traditional maritime activities.
The park provides direct access to the promenade that connects Moaña to the nearby maritime connection points for ferry transport across the Ría.
The area is monitored for its role in local biodiversity, specifically regarding the migratory bird species that frequent the Ría de Vigo wetlands.
Parque da Xunqueira is a prominent urban green space located in the coastal town of Moaña, situated along the Ría de Vigo. The park serves as a multifunctional recreational area featuring expansive lawns, pedestrian pathways, and integrated facilities for community sports. Its geography is defined by its proximity to the tidal marshes, which are characteristic of the local Galician estuary landscape. The site is designed to accommodate both leisure walking and organized municipal gatherings. It functions as a primary environmental transition zone between the town's residential center and the shoreline. The park infrastructure includes playground equipment, benches, and lighting suitable for public access.
