The park is situated within 50 meters of the international bridge that spans the Zarumilla River, forming the official border between Peru and Ecuador.
The location is part of the main transit corridor for heavy freight and pedestrian traffic moving between the Tumbes region and El Oro province.
The park is located at a very low elevation near sea level, contributing to the tropical, arid coastal climate characteristic of northern Peru.
Aguas Verdes Central Park serves as the primary urban green space in the border town of Aguas Verdes, located immediately adjacent to the Peru-Ecuador international border crossing. The park functions as a transitional hub for travellers moving between the Peruvian town of Zarumilla and the Ecuadorian city of Huaquillas. It features paved walkways and mature trees that provide shade in the high-temperature climate of the Tumbes region. The site acts as a social center for the local border community and a landmark for those navigating the Puente Internacional area. It is characterized by its proximity to the high-traffic commercial corridor connecting the two countries.

Keep all official identification documents and travel papers readily accessible as you are in a highly monitored international border zone.
Monitor your personal belongings closely, as the area experiences high pedestrian turnover and congestion typical of international land crossings.
Remain hydrated, as the Tumbes region maintains high temperatures throughout the year.
Do not treat this as a traditional tranquil park; it is a bustling commercial transit zone and should be treated as a functional stop rather than a recreation destination.
