The Park Nou (New Park) is 15 hectares of extensible land, situated in the south of El Prat de Llobregat; adjacent to the San Cosme’s district, Granja’s district and the airport. The construction started in 1982 and ended in 1995. Currently, the park depends on the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona.
The park is built into several phases, respecting the existing native vegetation. Its ground has a triangular shape and it can differentiate various areas regarding uses and characteristics: there is a central area denominated by a large canal, which separates two roads connected by several bridges, ideal for walking. In the East, there is a large picnic area, a small circuit for bikes or skates, and two playgrounds. The picnic area continue to the West. On the other side, we can find the sport centre with a soccer ground, a basketball court and a small pitch for the indoor soccer. Behind them, there is a large sunken ellipse at the level of the park, where rush and other native vegetation grows. The park is rounded by trees, bushes and spacious grass zones. The dirt roads are ideal for walking between the vegetation and enjoying it.
The main role played by the Parc Nou is to bring the nature closer to the neighbors from Prat de Llobregat and other users, without being contradictory with the need for recreation and leisure.
It is a real luxury to celebrate a festival as Esperanzah! in such privilege environment. Help us to retain the park and to leave it just as it was before the festival.
