Testament to a working-class past

Just like two other parks, Espanya Industrial and Pegaso, Parc del Clot lies on land once occupied by old factories and industrial sites that fell into disuse. In this case the designers, Daniel Freixes and Vincent Miranda, opted to maintain some vestiges of that industrial past, such as the chimney stacks and arches that had formed part of the previous site and are now integrated into the park complex.

Places for recreation, sport and art

There are numerous sports and recreational facilities in the park, including football, pétanque and pelota courts, basketball baskets, a kids’ recreation area and a place for dogs. There is also a Green Point for recycling and a municipal sports centre.

The vegetation, mainly Mediterranean, includes a large variety of trees. There are a lot of grassy areas too with fountains and ornamental sculptures.
