Currently, the park occupies a vast parcel of land along the Segura River within walking distance of the city's historic center. The master plan envisions the site as a sustainable and bio-diverse open air museum – the largest in Spain and one of the largest worldwide – devoted to extensive land-based art installations, and a 485,000 square feet (45,000 square meter) campus for a new Museum of Art, Design and the Environment. The mission of the museum will be to support and expand on the open-air installations by collecting, preserving and exhibiting works by artists and designers that deal with the natural environment in new and innovative ways. The design of the museum campus and its buildings will be determined by an architectural competition to be initiated later this year.
In addition to support from the City of Murcia, a group of individuals and private companies led by the Fundación Gabarrón formed Murcia Futuro, a foundation that will provide support for the project. Murcia Futuro's mission will also include attracting donations of privately held works and promoting the park's landscape as an "artist's canvas". The park will notably offer contemporary artists and designers an opportunity to realize their visions on a scale unavailable elsewhere.
