Just across the street from Nou Barris, this one had less of a wow factor, much less visitor attraction, and much less to do really. A small area, 4.26 hectares, makes it just the right size to be a promenade park, a small square of light, vegetation and water.
Some of the trees found here are : California fan palms (Washingtonia filifera), most of them aligned, and a cluster of eucalyptus trees (Eucalyptus globulus). Peruvian pepper trees (Schinus molle), silver lime trees (Tilia X europaea), jacarandas (Jacaranda mimosifolia) and Aleppo pines (Pinus pinea).
Ombu trees (Phytolacca dioica), Canadian poplars (Populus X canadensis), mimosas (Acacia dealbata), white poplars (Populus alba), Persian silk trees (Albizia julibrissin), Brachychiton populneum and European hackberries (Celtis australis). With respect to shrubs, there are blue jasmines (Plumbago auriculata) in the parterres delimiting the top of the park.
The Manuel de falla fountain (designed by Pedro barragan '94) consists of a light show, water and sound creating a magic fountain effect. There is another sculpture called Alegrias (happinness) by Naxo Ferreras Casanovas ('98). It expresses movement depicted a spinning flamenco dancer.. the one Josh is holding ever so dearly in his arms.
