Can Rigal Park is a new park open for public use where it identifies a main north-south axis connecting the two municipalities of Barcelona and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and gives rise to two distinct areas.

The accent color is alternated throughout the ride over from selected species of flowering throughout the year. The porches and pergolas with vines and planting photovoltaic panels enhance the character of the central axis, creating areas of shade and color, and to feed the lighting of the park. These elements together with the collection of staffs, give a picture organic tree. The topography is a great mat gently sloping embankment to the edge of the band Besos, resulting in tours arranged and respect the criteria of visual transparency throughout the park.

Can Rigal Park incorporates sustainability criteria and environmental regulation of lighting, generating electricity with solar panels, the use of recycled materials, especially in what refers to the vegetation and use of water.

The rainwater is collected on the surface, is channeled through a system of pipes and drainage gravel and returned capillary plant stress, since it could destabilize infiltrate the ground filler; while avoiding saturation of the sewer. For direct irrigation, water has been channeled to the existing mine Hospitalet (is a combination of Urban Sustainable Drainage System -SUDS- and groundwater).
