Parc de Can Dragó

C Rosselló i Porcel, 7

A large boulevard with lawns and trees that surround the sports installations located between Avinguda Meridiana and Passeig d'Andreu Nin.

The park was designed as a transition between the Meridiana’s noisy traffic and the silence of the Sant Andreu cemetery. It is made up of green islands, with tree-lined leisure areas and sports facilities. These include the biggest open-air swimming pool in Barcelona.

History

The name Can Dragó originates from the War of the Spanish Succession (1714), when a company of Bourbon troops, known as the dragoons, established themselves on the farm that dominated the area at the time.

Art and Architecture

In a central part of the park there is a small hill covered in grass with a replica of the Aurigues olímpics sculpture by Pau Gargallo, whose original is housed at the Olympic Stadium.
