It has seventy-two hectares of land, making it the largest urban park in Andalusia.
In 1909, the City Council acquired the site to convert it into an urban park for the use and enjoyment of the people of Huelva. It was named Moret, after Segismundo Moret, head of the Spanish government at the time and the person who authorized its acquisition.
Over the years, it has had its ups and downs, but was restored to the city in 2006, providing it with infrastructure, roads, and a place where the biodiversity that once existed in Huelva is preserved. It also includes an archaeological site with ancient burial mounds.
Moret Park, in addition to being a leisure center and a green and ecological lung of Huelva, is part of a necropolis from the orientalizing period of the 7th century BC.
Archaeological investigations have shown the presence of tumuli, which means that some of the small elevations found in the park are of artificial origin, created as funerary monuments marking the burial place of prominent members of Tartessian society (7th-6th centuries BC).
