The new areas with water games are located in Pl. Carme Simó (Ciutat Vella), in Av. Mistral (L’Eixample), in Pl. Joan Pelegrí (Sants-Montjuïc), in the Jardins de Justa Freire (Sants-Montjuïc), in the Parc de Joan Reventós (Sarrià – Sant Gervasi), in Pl. Harry Walker, in the Jardins del Baix Guinardó (Horta-Guinardó), in the Parc d’Antoni Santiburcio (Sant Andreu) and in Pl. Lolita Torrentó (Sant Martí).

These new spaces come in addition to the existing ones, which will also become operative in the coming days in Canyelles (Nou Barris), the Parc de les Rieres d’Horta (Horta-Guinardó), Bon Pastor (Sant Andreu), the Canòdrom Meridiana (Sant Andreu), in Pl. Maresme (Sant Martí), the old Casa de l’Aigua (Sant Andreu), the Parc de les Glòries (L’Eixample / Sant Martí), in the Jardins de Sant Joan de Déu at Illa Diagonal (Les Corts) and in Pl. Caramelles (Ciutat Vella).

A further five spaces of this type are planned for 2027: two in Sant Martí, two in Ciutat Vella and one in Nou Barris.

The implementation of new spaces with water games where children can freshen up responds to the strategy of the Heat Plan, part of the Climate Plan, to adapt the city to the high temperatures and opt for a resilient city model capable of addressing current climate challenges, overcoming the negative effects and protecting the most vulnerable. In this respect, these spaces also form part of the city’s network of climate shelters.

These spaces to freshen up in children’s play areas are the only places conditioned for this purpose. They are particularly recommended for children aged five and over, who should use footwear to access them. It is prohibited to access decorative fountains or to bathe in them.
