In the last few decades, though, it has left behind the austerity of large 19th-century brick mills to become a modern part of the city, bristling with youth and offering plenty of services and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right in the centre of the neighbourhood,\u00a0<strong>Parc del Centre del Poblenou<\/strong> is a very modern space, having been inaugurated in 2008. A project of multiple award-winning architect <strong>Jean Nouvel<\/strong>, it gave the old industrial area of the barrio a much needed and quite literal breath of fresh air. It\u2019s biggest accomplishment, though, is that it gives the neighbourhood a green coat of paint through a rich variety of Mediterranean \u00a0planting, while still fitting in perfectly with the surrounding urban environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Covering a total surface area of 55,000 m2, the <strong>park\u2019s<\/strong> architectonical boldness makes it stand out, not like a sore thumb, but instead like a well-placed centerpiece that perfectly symbolizes the spirit of a\u00a0new colourful and inviting <strong>Poblenou.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/park\/\" target=\"_blank\">Exploring the Local Parks of Barcelona II<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tranquillity_and_leisure\"><\/span>Tranquillity and leisure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_80533\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-80533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/3619060914_f9e5b14aa8_z-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Velcro. via Visualhunt\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-80533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Velcro. via Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Surrounded by a high wall covered with flowers, the <strong>park<\/strong> keeps away the outside world and all its noise, giving its visitors a feeling of blissful isolation from the trivial worries of life. Walking through it, you\u2019ll find children joyfully running around in its various<strong> play areas<\/strong> and people of all ages playing <strong>ping pong<\/strong> on one of the freely available tables. Under the trees, you\u2019ll find not only shade\u00a0but also time to breathe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the summer, the <strong>park<\/strong> is open to the public every day from 10 AM to 9 PM. Over the winter season, its schedule becomes a little shorter \u2013 from 10 AM to 7 PM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will you take a walk in this relaxing Barcelona <strong>park<\/strong> soon?
