The park's centerpiece water tower, built in 1944, was designed by architect Leandro Silva.
The water tower has a total capacity of 4,000 cubic meters of water.
The park was established to commemorate a reforestation drive that saw thousands of trees planted in a single day.
The observation deck at the top of the tower provides panoramic views reaching as far as the Sierra de Alcaraz on clear days.
The park contains a specialized botanical area featuring species that were central to the original 1904 reforestation efforts.
La Fiesta del Árbol is a public park in Albacete defined by its prominent water tower, the Depósito del Agua, which stands as the tallest structure in the city at 67 meters. The park was originally created to celebrate a massive reforestation event in 1904, from which it derives its name. Today, the park features expansive green spaces, children's play areas, and a large central pond. The historic water tower houses an observation deck and a museum focused on the city’s water cycle and industrial history. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with diverse tree species, providing significant urban shade. It serves as a major recreational hub for local families and visitors interested in Albacete's industrial heritage. The park layout integrates modern leisure facilities with the preserved industrial architecture of the tower. It remains the most recognized landmark in the city’s skyline.
