Crédit Agricole Green Life – Arboretum Park in Parma was an opportunity to create a brand new, diffused green system of high environmental and landscape value, rich in contents and possibilities of use. The new park represents a reference point for all employees and their families, where socialisation, relax, sport activities and environmental awareness take place, where nature as a fundamental component of business welfare is interpreted in an original way.

More than 500 trees, thousands of shrubs and ornamental plants create a green core of more than 70.000 sqm, comparable to the most significant urban parks as far as dimensions, biomass and biodiversity are concerned. The landscape design transposes innovative and environmentally sustainable criteria, adopted during the entire complex design project, which has been curated by Frigerio Design Group.

The park, which embraces the buildings, is divided in different areas: the Flower Garden, The Green Theater, The Poplar Alley and the vast Arboretum. All of these start from the Plaza at the heart of the project and the main entrance gate that connects existing to the newly constructed buildings and the park. Various initiatives for citizen engagement will be introduced in the future, aiming to reinforce the social impact and perception of the project. These will include educational activities related to the park’s botanical abundance for children and adults.
