New fountain with accessible water games in Canyelles

03/08/2020 - 09:00 h

The area of 32 square metres is one of the planned climate shelters to help tackle the climate emergency and the heat. It has been in operation since 1 August and will be dismantled at the end of the summer.

The inner square next to Carrer de Juan Ramón Jiménez, in the Canyelles neighbourhood, was the location chosen for a fountain with accessible water games in the form of a palm tree. The fountain is right next to a children’s play area and started operating on 1 August.

The fountain operates every day from 10 am to 1 pm and from 5 pm to 8 pm. Users have to press a button to make the water jets work in a cycle which lasts between one and two minutes.

The fountain will operate until the end of the summer, when it will be dismantled and stored for use again next year.
