It was made in Torrent de les Monges in 2008 with a project by Bagursa (Barcelona Urban Management), and opened on May 17, 2009. It is dedicated to the politician Joan Reventós (1927-2004), founder of the Socialists Party of Catalonia and President of the Parliament of Catalonia.

At the highest point of this garden is a spectacular tall white pine (Pinus halepensis) with a height of almost 15 meters, which makes it worthy of being included in the catalog of trees of local interest in Barcelona.
From the main street of Sarrià ramps depart for the adapted access. The retaining walls are covered with ivy (Hedera helix), bougainvillea (Bougainvillea glabra), virgin vine (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) and cat or bignon (Macfadyena ungis-cati).
At the central agora of the park is the playground, framed by some palm trees (Phoenix canariensis, Washingtonia robusta and W. filifera).
The surroundings of the square are landscaped with ivory (Viburnum tinus) and shrub (Arbutus unedo). Along the retaining walls grow evergreen (Rhamnus blaternus), pitospor (Pittosporum tobira), palmetto (Chamaerops humilis) and excelsa palm (Trachycarpus fortunei). One of the park's rarities is a Chinese varnish tree (Koelreuteria paniculata). All this vegetation was part of the natural environment and has remained the same. Inside an ornamental pot of exposed work and glazed ceramics decorated with floral motifs and in the form of a chalice, a palm tree grows (Chamaerops humilis).
At the bottom of the square there is a small depression in the parterre with drainage well functions, made and prepared to absorb rainwater flows (SUDS Sustainable Urban Drainage System). The rounded edge of the concrete path indicates the border of the Les Monges stream. Climbing and upholstering plants have invaded space and hide the gabion walls that hold the slopes of the terrain. Underneath all this vegetation is a whole drainage system for the park to drain the water. When it rains torrentially the water goes down strongly and takes speed thanks to the steep slopes, but is swallowed up by a system of ditches with gravels where the flow is drained.
The pines make up a very small but compact forest area, with an imposing olive tree, often frequented by pines.
An old bridge has been preserved from the old convent and next to it is a giant pine and a robin (Robinia pseudoacacica). The trees emerge from large hollows embedded within the concrete walkway. Beneath the pine are specimens of ruby ​​and several Trojans (Ligustrum japonicum).

At this point the promenade widens again, both in terms of the pedestrian area and the stream. Above the stream bed and on small mounds are olive and mulberry trees and a giant specimen of Bellaombra (Phytolacca dioica). Above the promenade is also a giant Robinia and at its feet three trojans. A little further on and always in large circular scots are cherry trees (Prunus serrulata) and tipuanes (Tipuana tipu). The download continues. The path to the large forges of drainage is marked by a row of poplars. Specimens of the two most common species in the city alternate (Populus alba and Populus nigra). At this point in the park comes the promenade that comes from the fourth access to the garden from Ràfols Street. An access that is marked by a group of Xicrandres (Jacaranda mimosifolia).
The construction of the park reveals the rear of the houses on Gran de Sarrià Street and reveals its gardens. The fences covered with ivy (Hedera helix) and virgin vine (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) give the space a proper degree of intimacy. It is worth noting a large Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deodara), which is near the access to Ramon Miquel i Planes street. The tree, cut down some years ago, has lost its original shape but the size and diameter of the trunk are still admirable.
