Revamp to 12 dog recreation areas
Twelve dog recreation areas (AEG) in seven city districts are getting a complete revamp. The work is due to be completed in 2027 and entails an investment of more than 3.2 million euros as part of the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan (PMI) in the Pla Endreça. Barcelona currently has over 875,000 square metres of space available, plus the Llevant dog beach during the bathing months.

The full revamp to dog recreation areas entails the renewal of ground sand, the creation of accessible concrete routes and the construction of new perimeter fences with double gates. In addition, the watering and drainage systems will be renewed and new urban furniture installed (benches, litter bins, drinking fountains, tree protection elements and lampposts). These areas are delimited, and inside there are benches and litter bins, as well as drinking fountains designed for dogs to drink from easily.
The areas being renewed are:
- Jardins del Mestre Balcells (Gràcia)
- Parc del Centre del Poblenou (Sant Martí)
- Parc del Poblenou (Sant Martí)
- Jardins de Joana Tomàs (Sant Martí)
- Parc del Clot (Sant Martí)
- Parc de la Maquinista (Sant Andreu)
- Jardins de la Font dels Ocellets (Les Corts)
- Parc de Monterols (Sarrià – Sant Gervasi)
- Jardins de la Indústria (L’Eixample)
- Plaça de la Sagrada Família (L’Eixample)
- Jardins de Màlaga (Sants-Montjuïc)
- Jardins de Can Mantega (Sants-Montjuïc)
Barcelona currently has 232 spaces for dogs, with over 875,000 square metres of space available, plus the Llevant dog beach during the bathing season.
