Poblenou Park, located at the end of the Olympic Village, is a large pine forest, and as we approach the sea, an area full of dunes, defending park east winds. The first section, next to the entrance on Calle Salvador Espriu entrance, briefly follows the end of the Parc de la Nova Icaria, clearly identifiable by their wooden bridges.
In this area there stands a lake and a large open area that allows sport. All this is located at the beginning of a long paved strip that runs along the park from end to end and plays a wide street with three names, depending on where we are, and a considerable amount of traffic.

In the area of ​​foreign tour, poplars (Populus alba) share space with hedges, many of them with bamboo (Phyllostachys sp). They are also abundant in the park hedges of privet (Ligustrum lucidum), laurel (Laurus nobilis) and Mastic (mastic). In the area near the lake, between stone pines, there are pines (Pinus halepensis) and some carob (Ceratonia siliqua).

Landscaping and Design
The car park is separated by an access path with a long row of poplar trees and numerous hedges shaped rectangle, carefully trimmed and tightened. The hedges are scattered unevenly, creating a progression of spaces restraining vehicular traffic and bringing the silence of the park. From the terrace towards the sea, at the height of the lake and clearing the land rises slightly. Here there are large meadows and rest areas separated by walls under the protective cover of the trees, especially pines. At the end of this first section of the park began more natural part of the park. It is a large pine forest located on a large meadow crossed by small roads. When the warm weather arrives, many users looking for a place in the shade or in the sun to tan to herself to stretch out and enjoy the scent of the pines and the sea. In the end we found the dunes. They are a piece a little separated from the park by the Coastal Avenue. The greatest of all the beach just to the point where they melt the park and the beach of Mar Bella. It is a sunny, covered with little vegetation can withstand salinity of sea has to play. It is by far the most natural place and most wild

Spread out between the dunes of the park are the remains of a boat Lebanese flag, the Ashraf II. This is the fireplace and two pieces of the stern, with a part of the deck and the other bronze propeller and rudder. These remains were abandoned some time on the beach until the architects Xavier Vendrell and Manuel Ruisánchez, authors of Poblenou Park project, decided to use them as highlights of this green space
