Lievelde is the place where the regional train station is situated, called Lichtenvoorde-Groenlo railway station.
Lievelde is known locally for its "wool corso", a parade of people and self-made vehicles, fully clothed in colourful died wool, unlike the "flower corso" for which Lichtenvoorde is famous, among others.
In Lievelde is a more or less intact sconce, the Engelse schans (English sconce), which was used during the Siege of Groenlo in 1627.
