About
Barcelona's newest big park, opened in 2025 on the once traffic-choked Plaça de les Glòries, linking the Eixample, Poblenou and Sant Martí under the Torre Glòries. The tall metal slides of its play area are built into the old Olympic traffic ring. There are also ping-pong tables, basketball hoops and a hectare of open lawn for picnics and running.
