The square is the work of Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí. A fence reduces the pressure that visitors made about the parterres and the rock of the waterfall and brings them back to the contemplated viewpoint at the opposite end of the temple. The proposed route begins with access to Carrer Provença and Mallorca. There are large specimens of Iuca ( Yucca elephantipes ), holm oaks ( Quercus ilex ), boar peppers ( Schinus molle ), pine trees ( Pinus halepensis ), palm trees ( Phoenix dactylífera ) and some olive trees ( Olea europaea ).

The square does not occupy the entire island but has a row of houses for uncertainties about its urbanization until the mayor Josep Maria Socias Humbert commissioned the project Rubió i Tudurí (87 years later). They make screens between the buildings and the park a set of pins ( Pinus halepensis ), some marías ( Melia azedarach ), troanes ( Ligustrum japonicum ) and cypresses of Monterrey ( Cupressus macrocarpa ).

Stairs allow access to the viewpoint to take pictures of La Sagrada Familia framed by the green of the vegetation and the blue sky. In addition, you have the reflection of the temple on the lake with postal perspectives.

the tree arrangement from the viewpoint bridge was made not to hide details of the façade. In the foreground, on the edge of the lookout, we find oaks ( Quercus ilex ) and pruners of red leaf ( Prunus cerasifera var. Atropurpurea ) that give us reddish and rusty colors and in contrast to the opposite side of the lake with the green of the Pines ( Pinus halepensis ) Giant ( Chamaerops humilis ) and juniperus ( Juniperus ) are very large. It is tree-lined and adult shrubs and in some cases quite large but not enough to hide the facade of the church. The result is an image of the Sagrada Familia surrounded by nature. If the waterfall of the lake works, the reflected image appears equipped with the fluctuating movement of waves, if the waterfall is stopped the image is that of a mirror that offers the temple invested in a perfect symmetry.

From the small viewpoint you can see the sculpture of white marble, a monolith dedicated to Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí by Xavier Corberó.

Behind the viewpoint there is a track of boats, a children's play area and the green spot of the Sagrada Familia neighborhood that has a composting area and an insect hotel.

On the way to the façade of the Sagrada Família you pass by the rocky area that frames the lake with arboreal and shrub species that complement the whole, such as oleander ( Nerium oleander ), viburnum of smell ( Viburnum odoratissimum ), piracants ( Pyracantha angustifolia ), Pythagoras ( Pittosporum tobira ), Blue Jelly or Jasmine ( Plumbago auriculata capensis ) and elaeagnus ( Elaeagnus angustifolia ).

The vegetation of the space is completed with boar peppers ( Schinus molle ), olive trees ( Olea europaea ), ficus ( Ficus elastica ), rafiolepis ( Raphiolepis umbellata ) evonus from Japan ( Evonymus japonicus variegata ), agave (Agave americana var. Americana ) and winter hydrangea ( Bergenia crassifolia ). Between the plants and the rock, a waterfall runs along one side of the square and generates a small waterfall that leads to the lake.
