La Foixarda, Sport and leisure area in Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain.

La Foixarda occupies a former quarry site on the northwest slope of Montjuïc mountain between Francisco Ferrer Guardia Avenue and Stadium Avenue.

The municipality acquired the land in 1915 as part of the urban development project for the 1929 International Exhibition, transforming the quarry into recreational spaces.

The area contains multiple sports facilities including a rugby field, tennis courts, climbing center and equestrian school that serve local athletic organizations.

Visitors can access various recreational facilities throughout the year, with the rugby stadium accommodating up to 800 spectators for matches and events.

The site preserves Barcelona's only urban nature reserve and includes the Historic Botanical Garden established in 1930 by botanist Pius Font i Quer.
