El parc de les Aigües
District: Horta-Guinardó
Neighborhood: el Baix Guinardó
This green space cuts part of the Baix Guinardó neighbourhood off from the sight and sound of the busy traffic around Plaça d'Alfons X el Savi.
The park’s location makes it a kind of mountainous island, a staggered structure with independent terraces separated by stone walls and paths. Each of these terraces has a different function.
While most are for passing the time and relaxation, with plenty of benches, there are also three children’s play areas, a small multisport court, a pétanque court and a properly marked out picnic area with guaranteed shade over the summer.
This park, which opened in 1978, originated from the gardens and plant nurseries belonging to the Companyia d’Aigües de Barcelona residence, built at the end of the 19th century. It was constructed over the roof of two large water tanks, along with the residence of the company’s chairman, who wanted a green space that combined the gardens with agriculture.
