Parc del Centre del Poblenou, Urban park in Provençals del Poblenou, Barcelona, Spain

The Parc del Centre del Poblenou is a triangular park designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in 2008, covering over 55,000 m² between Avinguda Diagonal and the streets Bac de Roda and Marroc. High concrete walls covered with climbing plants enclose it, pierced by circular windows decorated with bird silhouettes; the entrance arches are inspired by Gaudí's Finca Miralles. Inside, themed spaces include the Rampa de Rocas, the Bóvedas, the Plaça de la Sardana and the Pou del Món.

The park opened in 2008, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, who also designed the nearby Torre Agbar. It was built in the 22@ district, an area set aside for new technology and innovation sectors. An old factory, Oliva Artés, was kept and converted into a social facility, and a stretch of the number 70 tram line that once crossed the site remains in front of it.

The Sardana Square is a gathering place where neighbors come together to perform traditional Catalan dances. These meetings are woven into the neighborhood's everyday life and connect people across generations.

The park is open at different times depending on the season, with longer hours during warmer months. Plan your visit around these seasonal hours and enjoy the space during daylight when all areas are most accessible.

The Pozo del Mundo, a crater of spiralling earth planted with bougainvillea, was designed by Joan Maria Soler Farràs as a live link to Guayaquil, Barcelona's twin city in Ecuador, with screens and an internet connection planned at both ends. Guayaquil's authorities never cooperated, so the counterpart space was never built.
