The Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park is a Spanish protected natural area located between the municipalities of Pego and Oliva , in the provinces of Alicante and Valencia , Valencian Community . This area of ​​1,255 hectares was declared a natural park by the Valencian government on December 27, 1994.

This protected natural area has a dune system that extends south of the Serpis River . It is made up of swamp areas and rice fields. The formation of this park is due to the silting process that an old bay underwent that turned it into a lagoon and which later continued to turn it into the current marsh . Due to this, it constitutes a uniform extension of reed beds with numerous ponds of clean water being crossed by a network of old irrigation ditches.

Within the natural park, the Bullent (or Vedat) rises, which flanks the marsh to the north, and the Racons (or Molinell), located to the south of the area, which has been modified and channeled at various times. To the north of the area is the Serpis, one of the most important rivers born within the Valencian Community and which is responsible for most of the sediments that formed the orography of the park.

El Parque Natural del Marjal de Pego-Oliva (en valenciano Parc Natural de la Marjal de Pego-Oliva) es un espacio natural protegido español situado entre los términos municipales de Pego y Oliva, en las provincias de Alicante y de Valencia, Comunidad Valenciana. Este paraje de 1255 ha fue declarado parque natural por el gobierno valenciano el 27 de diciembre de 1994.

Este espacio natural protegido tiene un sistema dunar que se extiende al sur del río Serpis. Está conformado por espacios palustres y arrozales. La formación de este parque se debe al proceso de colmatación que sufrió una antigua bahía que la convirtió en albufera y que posteriormente continuó para convertirla en el actual marjal. Debido a ello constituye una extensión uniforme de carrizales con numerosas balsas de agua limpia siendo atravesada por una red de antiguas acequias.

Dentro del parque natural nacen el Bullent (o Vedat), que flanquea el marjal por el norte y el Racons (o Molinell), situado al sur del paraje, que ha sido modificado y canalizado en diversas épocas. Al norte del paraje se sitúa el Serpis uno de los ríos más importantes nacidos dentro de la Comunidad Valenciana y que es responsable de la mayor parte de los sedimentos que configuraron la orografía del parque.
