Parc de la Pegaso Playground: Where Imagination Takes Flight
Parc de la Pegaso offers a distinctive playground experience, most notably featuring a giant metal octopus structure that immediately captures the attention of children . This impressive centerpiece is more than just a visual spectacle; its head incorporates rope walkways, and its tentacles ingeniously double as thrilling slides, promising an adventurous climb and descent . The intricate design of the octopus extends to its construction, a collaboration between a Catalan architect and a German company, highlighting an investment in unique and high-quality play equipment . Detailed specifications reveal a multi-level structure with climbing nets inside the abdomen and head, multiple tunnel slides, and even rotating periscopes for eyes, allowing children to view their surroundings from a unique perspective . Adding to the sensory experience are rotating disks and distorting mirrors located at the ends of the tentacles, accessible from the surrounding sand play area .
Beyond the captivating octopus, Parc de la Pegaso also includes soft-play areas equipped with musical instruments that respond to movement, a small trampoline for bouncing fun, nest swings for gentle swaying, and various walkways to explore . For younger visitors, there is a dedicated toddler playground, ensuring a safe and age-appropriate play environment . Additionally, older children can enjoy a zip wire, adding an element of thrill to their visit . The park's history as the site of a former Pegaso truck factory, with the original gates still standing as the main entrance, provides an interesting backdrop to this vibrant recreational space . The combination of imaginative play structures and diverse equipment makes Parc de la Pegaso a particularly appealing destination for families with children of different ages and interests.
