The park was designed to preserve a significant portion of the native coastal pine forest ecosystem typical of the Romagna region.
It contains a series of interconnected ponds that are manually managed to support local biodiversity.
The park's surface area covers roughly 400,000 square meters, making it one of the largest green spaces in the province of Forlì-Cesena.
There are designated exercise stations installed throughout the pathways to support outdoor fitness.
The vegetation includes significant populations of Pinus pinea and Pinus pinaster, which are iconic to the Adriatic littoral zone.
Parco di Levante is a 40-hectare public park located in Cesenatico, serving as a primary green lung for the coastal town. The park features an extensive network of walking and cycling paths that wind through dense pine forests and expansive grassy meadows. A large central lake acts as a focal point, attracting various local bird species and providing a habitat for semi-aquatic wildlife. The area includes several fenced children's playgrounds and dedicated picnic zones with fixed wooden tables. Its design emphasizes local flora, dominated by Mediterranean maritime pines and domestic stone pines. As of July 2026, the park remains open to the public as a free-access municipal facility. It acts as a transitional green buffer between the urban residential districts and the nearby Adriatic coastline.

Bring mosquito repellent, as the park's ponds and dense pine cover create a high-humidity environment that attracts insects.
Use the bicycle paths that connect the park directly to the Cesenatico canal port for an easy scenic ride.
The park is heavily shaded; it remains significantly cooler than the beach during peak afternoon heat.
Do not wander off marked paths after dark, as the lighting is minimal and the forest density is high.
Keep dogs on a leash, remove pet waste, and refrain from feeding the wildlife near the ponds.
