The Parc de la Mitjana is located in a wet area of the fluvial type, with an approximate area of 90 hectares. In 1979 it was declared an area of natural interest. The wetland, which is part of the fluvial system of the River Segre, has its own microclimate that has favored the growth of a lush riverside forest made up of poplars, poplars, alders, ash trees, willows, tamarinds, as well as a herbaceous layer where duckweed, reeds, yellow lilies or rushes can be found. It is also a place for bird watching, among which are the Collverd duck, the moorhen, the seagull, the white night heron and the gray heron. The park has an interpretation center that offers guided tours and a permanent audiovisual exhibition about the park.
