Parco del Serchio
Situata sulla strada che dalla città sale verso il fiume, la terrazza Guglielmo Petroni, dedicata allo scomparso scrittore lucchese, rappresenta idealmente e fisicamente l'ingresso del Parco Fluviale. E’ un gradevole luogo di sosta, con alberi, panchine, una fontana ed elementi di arredo che consentono di godere pienamente della presenza del fiume, di ascoltare lo scorrere delle acque e ammirare gli scorci panoramici della collina di Monte S. Quirico.

(outdoor) or (other) decorative features/street furniture
depending on what type of features they are talking about-if flower pots and such like etc I would go for decorative-if benches, fancy lamp-posts etc-street furniture would fit better.

thanks! Facilities can mean lots of things besides bathroom! Merriam Webster gives "something that is built, installed or established to serve a particular purpose"

also, outdoor furniture, if it is talking about something wicker or whatnot. I like the idea of using "outdoor" but would avoid facilities because it sounds like a bathroom

While it is true that facilities can mean more than bathroom (as in "the research facilities of xxx corporation"), its combination with outdoor makes an outhouse come to mind, at least where a national park might be concerned. Of course, that may be one of the amenities available, so...!
