Barcelona metro area upgrades three parks with lighting, play areas and drought repairs

The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) is advancing urban renewal projects this month, upgrading three parks in collaboration with local municipalities. The initiatives include renovations at Castell Park in Castelldefels, Solana Park in Sant Andreu de la Barca, and Pont de la Cadena Park—known locally as Palmeras Park—in Molins de Rei, according to an AMB statement on Monday.
In Castelldefels, Castell Park will receive a €307,074 investment for LED lighting upgrades, replacing 119 fixtures to reduce energy consumption, alongside a €364,999 perimeter fence to improve security. Solana Park in Sant Andreu de la Barca will see €1.39 million in improvements, with €1.15 million funded by the local council, including enhanced sports areas, children’s play zones, dog spaces, and lighting. The AMB manages both Castell and Solana parks as part of its metropolitan network.
In Molins de Rei, the Pont de la Cadena Park, managed municipally, will undergo a €524,381 transformation to address damage from the 2024 drought and recent wear. Plans include a new kiosk, expanded children’s play areas, and a paved space under a pergola for public events. The AMB stated the projects aim to balance recreational use with environmental preservation, including renaturalization efforts and upgraded amenities .
