From Sant Sebastia beach to Llevant beach there is a wide walkway (10 km), which is great for <strong>walking<\/strong>, <strong>running<\/strong>, <strong>cycling<\/strong>, and <strong>rollerblading<\/strong>. Along the way you\u2019ll find beaches with <strong>volleyball<\/strong> nets, a <strong>workout area<\/strong> and even <strong>table tennis<\/strong>. Just near <strong>Parc de la Barcolenta<\/strong> you\u2019ll find a small training area by the beach with pull-up bars and similar bars ideal for a street workout. In this are,a you\u2019ll also find some <strong>volleyball<\/strong> nets. The best two beaches for volleyball are <strong>Nova Icaria<\/strong> and <strong>Bogatell<\/strong>. You can access this via multiple stops along Line 4. The ones closest to the beach are Barceloneta and Vila Olympica.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Team_Sporting_Places\"><\/span>Team Sporting Places<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_70777\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70777\" class=\"wp-image-70777 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Basketball-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"Basketball\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-70777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What if you\u2019d rather do some sports away from the busy beaches? If you want a few options you can try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/parks\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Parc El Clot<\/strong><\/a> where there are several <strong>basketball<\/strong> hoops and a small paved <strong>football<\/strong> pitch. There is also a place for <strong>table tennis<\/strong> and <strong>paddle ball<\/strong>. Speaking of paddle ball, it\u2019s becoming a popular sport in Barcelona and there is also a court in <strong>Parc de les Aig\u00fces<\/strong> by metro stop Alfons X, accessible by Line 4. Another nice place to play <strong>football<\/strong> is along <strong>El Besos River<\/strong> as there is a long stretch of grass starting near the coast and going all the way up to Trinitat Vella. This is also a popular place for a\u00a0<strong>cyclist<\/strong>, <strong>runners<\/strong>, and <strong>roller bladders<\/strong>. This can be accessed by FGC stop Sant Adri\u00e1 De Besos and metro stops Verneda (Line 2), Bar\u00f3 de Viver (Line 1), and Bon Pastor (Line 9N or 10).<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Speed_Workouts\"><\/span>Speed Workouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_70779\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70779\" class=\"wp-image-70779 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Track-2-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-70779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What about if you\u2019re a runner and want to train for your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/upcoming-running-events-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\">race<\/a> in Barcelona? There is a <strong>running track<\/strong> by the <strong>Olympic park<\/strong>, which you can get to by FGC or metro stop Placa Espana. Here you\u2019ll also find a <strong>baseball<\/strong> field. Another option on the other end of Barcelona is one near <strong>Fabra i Puig<\/strong> you can get there by FGC or Line 1. Finally, there is a quirky <strong>200-meter track<\/strong> at <strong>Glories<\/strong>, which you can get to by Line 1. However, these are all dirt tracks, except the one at Glories. If you want an official track, you\u2019ll likely have to pay for a gym that has one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hope you\u2019ll enjoy all these free sporting areas in Barcelona!
