To boost comfort and ensure safer paths, lighting will be renewed along the main pathways (such as the Camí de Dalt, the Passeig de les Palmeres and the stairs that connect them), as well as the stairs of the Jardins d’Àustria and the children’s play area in C/ Olot. The new lights will be more efficient, with a reduced environmental impact and integrated into the surroundings, making for better visibility around the most widely used paths to increase the sensation of safety while in the park.

The project will also boost the wi-fi connection all around the Park Güell, increasing and improving the current coverage to facilitate better connectivity for people as they stroll, relax or pursue activities there.

The park’s video surveillance system will also be upgraded and the stairs connecting the Passeig de les Palmeres and the Camí de Dalt are to be renovated, preserving the original stone and optimising the height of the steps to make them safer and more practical.

This set of improvements will be complemented with work to condition the bar inside the park, by the entrance in C/ Olot. The premises will be completely renovated, with a current design and a more functional spatial distribution.

All this work will get under way in the autumn and take around a year and a half, caried out in stages to minimise the inconvenience. Six million euros has been earmarked for the project, funded by BSM.

The park is also carrying out a series of other measures to optimise its use of water and adapt to the effects of climate change. On one hand, the watering system is being renewed to make it more efficient and adapt it to the needs of each area in the park. On the other hand, work is under way to recover one of the original functions that Gaudí planned here: collecting, storing and reusing rainwater. This work has been in progress since March and should be completed at the end of 2027, with an investment of four million euros, also funded by BSM.
