The park is built on land formerly belonging to the Counts of Lemos, historically associated with the nearby Palacio de los Condes de Lemos.
The park's layout integrates elements of English-style romantic garden design, prioritizing winding paths over formal symmetry.
It contains a collection of diverse tree species, some of which are over a century old, providing a microclimate significantly cooler than the surrounding urban streets.
The park's duck pond is a protected feature that supports local bird populations within the urban environment.
Parque dos Condes serves as the primary urban green space in Monforte de Lemos, situated directly at the base of the hill housing the San Vicente do Pino monastery. The park is characterized by its significant botanical diversity, featuring a variety of mature ornamental trees that provide extensive canopy cover. A central duck pond acts as a focal point for the garden layout, which features winding stone-paved walkways and manicured hedges. The landscape design incorporates remnants of historical stone walls, reflecting the town's medieval heritage. It functions as the primary venue for local open-air festivals and community gatherings throughout the year. The park layout connects the lower town area to the historic incline leading toward the city's castle complex.

Visit during the early morning to observe local bird life before the park becomes crowded with families.
Wear comfortable footwear as the historic paths are primarily composed of gravel and stone rather than flat asphalt.
Use the park as a transition point to hike the steep path up to the Torre del Homenaje.
Do not feed the birds in the pond, as the park authorities have strict conservation guidelines regarding local wildlife health.
