Read moreWe stayed near this park so overlooked it for a week. The photos I have are very nice sunset and some night shots of the trees reflected in the water. This is for sure a dog park as we were entertained by many dogs launching themselves into the water after their toys. At night we had some groups singing, dancing, and one night drums and flute playing. There seems to be many volleyball games, basketball games, and kids play with soccer balls throughout the day and into the night. The history of the park from our bus tour said that it used to be an industrial park for textiles. Once that was all torn down they made a park representing the textile factory. The fountains do not run all day or night. I do not know the schedule. The little fountain up top is splashed in by children but only dogs swim in the rest of the water. It seemed pretty green on the bottom by looking so probably slippery. The dragon slide is cool too. I just thought it was an art piece until we walked around it. The steps were many around it but not sure what they are or were used to do. Several homeless men appear to sleep here on the steps and play music late into the night. Worth a quick visit but if you have a dog, it’s a daily must...
Read moreThis is a strange park in Barcelona. It's different than Park Guell, the Laberint Park, and Ciutadella Park. This park is in the industrial area of Sants. The towers give the park a different and new flavour. There are mostly just locals at this park, and you won't find a single tourist here. There's a metal dragon sculpture, which has a slide for kids, but it's really dirty. The water is sedentary and just dirty. It's a cool place to go if you want to see the "real Barcelona," and take time away from all the glam of the tourist attractions. It is definitely different and strange. If you have time to kill, go see the park. If not, you haven't really...
