Although three streets cross the park it is isolated visually and acoustically from the traffic by walls of flowers, which is a wonderful idea itself. About 56 square metres large, the park is designed to unite several sections – a quare for the national dance La Sardana, the old Oliva Artes Factory that was renovated and turned into the Barcelona Architecture Centre. What is one of the most impressive features of the park are the flower tunnels (according to Nouvel’s vision) and the aromatic flowers that create an atmosphere of freshness. On the park’s grounds there is a basketball court, table tennis facilities and a children’s area. What is important to know, however, is the presence of another Poble Nou Park that is situated just at the seaside (Carrer Salvador Espriu) not far from the Central Poble Nou Park but very different in character – with large green spaces, a football playground nearby, a pond and the sandy beach.
