Description
Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta Playground: Adventure in a Forest Setting
Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta offers a unique playground experience nestled within a forested area, providing a sense of escape from the urban environment . A significant draw for families is the miniature steam train that has been delighting children (and adults) since 1981, offering a ride along a 635-meter track complete with a station and its own crew . The journey to the train itself is part of the adventure, with several walking "routes" leading uphill, interspersed with various playgrounds and resting areas . This layout encourages exploration and physical activity as families navigate the park.
The playgrounds within Parc de l'Oreneta feature a variety of equipment to cater to different preferences. Some areas boast swings and exciting zip lines, allowing for soaring fun, while others offer wooden play structures that blend naturally with the forest setting . Children can also enjoy rubber jumping mats for bouncy play and classic slides for a fun descent, with all play areas surrounded by soft sand for safety . The park's natural canopy of pine and oak trees provides ample shade, making it a comfortable destination even on warmer days, and there are dedicated picnic areas, some offering panoramic views of the city, where families can relax and refuel . Beyond the playgrounds and train, the park also offers other engaging activities such as table tennis, areas for playing cards, and even an orienteering circuit, catering to a wider age range . Pony rides are also available, adding another element of charm for younger visitors . The combination of natural beauty, adventurous activities, and diverse play options makes Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta a captivating destination for a family outing.
