The Parc de la Barceloneta is situated close to Vila Olímpica and the sea. It is a modern construction and more an open transitional space then a park. However, this park is perfectly integrated and reminds of the space's history with the gas industry. The open space around an old gas tank connects the Passeig Marítim with Carrer Doctor Aiguader. This park has a football field and playground for children and therefore it is much used by local residents.
It has been constructed by the architects Jordi Henrich and Olga Tarrasó. They knew how to take advantage of the elements from the old gas industry which was torn down in 1989. Thus, the laminated steel gasometer structure designed by the engineer Claudi Gil Serra in 1868 has been preserved, as has the water tower designed by the modernist architect Josep Domènech i Estapà and built in 1905.
