Description
Jardins del Doctor Pla i Armengol Playground: A Blend of History and Modern Play
The Jardins del Doctor Pla i Armengol, located in the Horta-Guinardó district, offer a unique blend of historical significance and modern recreational facilities . After being closed for several decades, the gardens reopened in late 2019, revealing a beautifully restored space that prioritizes biodiversity and historical richness . Notably, a significant addition in 2020 was the inauguration of a large children's play area spanning an impressive 6706 square meters . This substantial space suggests a wide range of play equipment and opportunities for children to explore.
Adding to the garden's unique character is the conversion of the former stables into a green square, which now includes a dedicated children's play area . This creative reuse of historical structures provides a distinctive setting for play, potentially offering an atmosphere unlike more conventional playgrounds. While specific details about the play equipment within this area are not extensively documented in the provided material, the combination of a large, recently inaugurated play space and its location within a historically rich and biodiverse garden suggests a well-considered and appealing destination for families. The gardens also offer panoramic city views, urban gardens, ponds, and a museum housed in the Mas Ravetllat building, providing additional elements of interest for a family visit .
