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

La Foixarda is a sports and leisure area on the northwest slope of Montjuïc mountain between Francisco Ferrer Guardia Avenue and Stadium Avenue. The site features a rugby field accommodating 800 spectators, tennis courts, a climbing center, and an equestrian school.

The municipality acquired the land in 1915 as part of urban development for the 1929 International Exhibition, converting a former quarry into recreational grounds. The site's transformation reflects the broader modernization of Montjuïc into public spaces for the city.

The name derives from the Foixart family of master stonemasons, who worked quarries on Montjuïc from the mid-17th to the mid-19th century. The quarries' hollows, such as the Sot de la Foixarda, now hold the municipal rugby field and the historic botanical garden. Montjuïc Castle is also known as the castle of La Foixarda.

The interior of La Foixarda is walked via Avinguda dels Montanyans, Carrer de la Foixarda and Camí de la Foixarda. From Avinguda de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, pass the west facade of the Poble Espanyol and follow Camí de la Foixarda past its north facade; the climbing centre and rugby field lie down the slope. The botanical garden is reached from Carrer del Mirador del Palau Nacional, behind the MNAC.

The grounds house Barcelona's only urban nature reserve, protecting rare plants and diverse plant life across the site. This hidden location remains unknown to many visitors who focus on Montjuïc's better-known attractions.
