Park el Clot, Public park in El Clot neighborhood, Barcelona, Spain.
Description
Park el Clot is a public green space in Barcelona's El Clot neighborhood, spread across four hectares. The site features distinctive double archways converted into aqueducts with water flowing down their outer walls.
History
The park opened in 1986, built on the grounds of an abandoned railway workshop that had sat unused for years. This conversion of former industrial land into public recreation marked a turning point for the neighborhood.
Culture
The bronze sculpture Rites of Spring by Bryant Hunt sits below ground level, with water channeling through narrow paths into a small basin. This artwork shapes how visitors experience and move through the landscape.
Practical
Visitors will find sports facilities including basketball courts, table tennis areas, and physical activity spaces throughout the grounds. Dedicated zones for dog owners are also available.
Did you know?
The site sits below street level along Carrer dels Escultors Claperós, creating a sunken garden effect that feels removed from the city. Plant selections were made from southern French species to thrive in Barcelona's climate conditions.
