The Agricultural Zone is a cultivated landscape mixed with solar farms. Experiments may address hydroponic food production, algae basins, animal agriculture symbiosis, or bio fuels. A canopy of solar panels provides shading along the route. At one of the HUBs, a water ballast funicular connects the park to the train station in Favazzina.

The Recreation-scape offers scenic trails articulated by kinetic sculptures utilizing clean energy. In the forest are many cabins for artist and researcher in residence, providing a peaceful working environment. The research headquarters is the central hub of the park, with laboratories, exhibition spaces, and accommodations. Here the landscape dominates the route, seducing you to go explore.

At the Engineering valley the old and new highways meet. The park route continues underneath the viaduct, along an immense wind turbine. This section gives panoramic views into the valley where the stream flows through an orchard of wind turbines from all eras.
