A lake for model boat fans

Framed between Carrer Taxdirt, Carrer Marina, Carrer Lepant and Travessera de Gràcia, the Prince of Girona Gardens are a green space in the  heart of Baix Guinardó. The centre of the gardens is taken up by a gravel esplanade which includes a children’s play area, an area for dogs, ping-pong tables and a bar with tables under the pines. One of its sides has a large artificial lake with a row of islets crossing from one side to the other. Model boat enthusiasts often sail their little vessels here.

An oasis of varied vegetation

The highest part of the garden contains white cedars and on the terraces there are bushes and lauristinus shrubs. The picnic area has pine trees to ensure good shading and a large esplanade that dominated by Canary Islands palms. The lake is surrounded by plane trees, while the oleanders, bougainvilleas and blue jasmine provide the colour. An oasis in the heart of the city.
