Parc de les Glòries, Urban park in Sant Martí district, Barcelona, Spain.
Parc de les Glòries is an urban park in Sant Martí featuring open green areas, scattered trees, and distinct zones for different activities. The layout includes children's play areas, dog zones, sports facilities, and a main grassy field linked by pathways and a central promenade.
The park originally opened in 1992 but underwent a complete redesign in 2019 as part of the broader renovation of Plaza de las Glorias Catalanas. This transformation introduced a fresh layout with updated facilities and improved green spaces.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy recreation and socializing across its different zones designed for various activities. The layout encourages people to move through the space and spend time in areas suited to their interests, from quiet rest spots to active play.
The park is accessible from multiple entrances with clearly marked pathways that are easy to walk through. Visitors can find refreshment kiosks and facilities scattered throughout, making longer visits more comfortable.
Throughout the park, rain gardens capture and filter stormwater into the ground rather than letting it run off. This quiet infrastructure feature is part of the design but often goes unnoticed by visitors enjoying the space.
