Square of the pegaso, Public park in La Sagrera, Barcelona, Spain.
The Pegaso square is a park in La Sagrera, Barcelona, spanning 3.65 hectares with distinct areas for different activities. It features a sinuous pond crossed by bridges, sports courts, and children's playgrounds throughout the grounds.
The park opened in 1986 on the former grounds of the ENASA factory, where Pegaso trucks were produced. The original factory entrance gate and office building remain on the site, marking its industrial roots.
The park's name comes from the Pegaso trucks built at the ENASA factory that once stood here, before it the Hispano-Suiza car works. The entrance building is kept for neighbourhood facilities, and the grounds are used for sports and play. The landscaping includes a winding canal with bridges, one curved in Japanese style.
The park lies in La Sagrera, on the site of the former ENASA factory, and is reached from Carrer de Sant Adrià and the surrounding streets. Paths are wide and level, and the raised green area has viewpoints over the canal and bridges. The curved Japanese-style bridge is a pedestrian crossing over the water.
The park's bird list is unusually long for a city green: nesting species recorded here include the white wagtail, the common kingfisher's relative the grey heron, and both Kramer's parakeet and the monk parakeet. Birdwatchers can look for them among the willows, poplars and bald cypresses along the canal.
