Urban sports parks

Barcelona is a city that is open to all kinds of sports, and year by year, action sports are gaining ground, with more and more people taking part. For this reason, Barcelona offers various possibilities in public areas, so that action-sport enthusiasts can enjoy these activities free of charge in appropriate settings that are specially designed for them.

There are already five urban sports parks around the city. They are:
