The park was developed on the site of former agricultural land to act as a ecological transition zone.
The landscape architecture utilizes terracing to manage water drainage and prevent soil erosion in the hilly terrain.
It features a specific irrigation system designed to sustain drought-resistant plant species during the arid summer months.
The park is strategically located along a transition point for migratory birds moving between the inland mountains and the coastal salt lagoons.
El Recorral is a 40,000-square-meter landscaped park situated on the edge of the Lo Albentosa hills in Rojales. The park features a complex network of walking paths winding through native Mediterranean flora, including numerous mature pine trees. It provides elevated vantage points that offer panoramic views of the Vega Baja del Segura region and the La Mata salt lakes. The grounds are equipped with dedicated picnic areas featuring wooden tables and benches for visitors. A prominent feature is the artificial stream and pond system that supports local bird species. The park serves as a green buffer zone between the urban developments of Ciudad Quesada and the surrounding protected natural landscapes. It functions as a popular destination for trail walking, jogging, and recreational outdoor activities.

Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip as the paths can be steep and uneven in some sections.
Bring your own water, as there are limited potable water facilities within the park grounds.
Visit during the shoulder seasons to avoid intense midday heat, as shade is inconsistent throughout the trail network.
Do not attempt to hike in the middle of the day during summer months, as there is very little shade on the higher sections of the park.
Keep dogs on a leash and carry waste bags, as this is a strictly enforced environmental protection area.
