Parks

This park is not just a park, rather it is a huge green and grassy area of more than 12 ha that surrounds the sports facilities of between Avinguda Meridiana and Passeig d'Andreu Nin.
The park functions as a transition area between the two big and busy streets and consists of four different parts with different functions. Two of the areas are housing the sports facilities including the biggest public pool in Barcelona, the other two parts provide green space and places to rest and relax to their visitors.
Overall, this park might not have spectacular art, vegetation and architecture to offer, however, it is a wonderful place for exercising and relaxing with the entire family.

Parks

Palau Robert and its surroundings originally used to be the family residence of Robert Robert í Surís, the son of Torroella de Montrgí, who was a very influential financier in Barcelona and who was later given the status of Spanish nobility. In 1981, the Generalitat de Catalunya bought the estate. The gardens were then made accessible to the public and the Palau now hosts the Catalan Centre for Information.
The Palau is built in the neoclassical style of the end of the 19th century and resembles many buildings on Passeig de Gracia. The entire property therefore gives great insight into the sophisticated Barcelona architecture at the end of the last century when the Eixample district was built.
The gardens are is a spectacular assortment of vegetation with huge plants and magnificent and colourful flowerbeds. However, green is the dominant colour in the garden that shines in different tones and that leads to a very nice interplay between colour and sunlight.

This park is a neighbourhood garden and a social meeting place for locals of all ages of the area. Having been made accessible to the public in 1959 ever since then this green space has impressed through its dense and beautiful vegetation that consists of colourful flowerbeds, expensive lawns and tall and old trees. The plants can grow so thick that you can only see what is directly in front of you and this makes the area appear a lot bigger and wider than it actually is.
You can also relax and rest on the many benches provided in the park and the gardens also host a great children’s playground so that the entire family can enjoy this green space.
