The Sol de Baix Sports Park was a sports complex from 1932 to 1951, between the neighborhoods of Sants and Les Corts. It was a large undeveloped plot called Sol de Baix, between Travessera de les Corts, Carrer Joan Güell, Avinguda de Madrid and Gran Via de Carles III. Today the name only corresponds to the Plaça del Sol de Baix. Futbol Club Barcelona had several sports facilities here until 1932. From this time the Asociación Hípico Galguera Deportiva de Cataluña (AHGDC) built an elliptical track with two parallel courts: an indoor, for greyhound racing (500 m.), and another outdoor one for horse racing (680 m.) which was also used for motorcycles and bicycles. In the central space football, rugby or baseball were played. The greatest use was as a dog track and, to a lesser extent, as a velodrome for cycling and motorcycle tests. In 1951 it was demolished. The most abundant tree is the pink acacia (Tipuana type).
