G5 park

G5 park is an urban green space in the Montigalà neighborhood of Badalona, opened in 2003 as a natural continuation of the adjoining Montigalà park. It covers about 4.2 hectares and is bordered by Carrer d'Anna Tugas, the path known as Camí de Sant Jeroni de la Murtra, and Travessera de Montigalà. Locals use it for walking, jogging, or simply escaping the noise of the city center.

How to get there?

The park sits in the northern part of Badalona, within Montigalà, one of the city's larger residential districts. Local bus lines serving Montigalà, along with roads connecting the neighborhood to central Badalona and the coastal motorway, make the area easy to reach. Entrances are spread around the park's full perimeter, so visitors arriving from any direction can step straight in without hunting for a specific gate. Nearby public transport stops serving the surrounding blocks also make the park a convenient rest stop during a longer visit to the city.

What will you see?

G5 park follows a landscape style built around native character — designers deliberately allowed local, spontaneous vegetation to take hold, so the grounds feel organic rather than tightly manicured. Walking paths combine saulo (compacted earth, a material typical of Catalan park design) with open-jointed stone slabs, letting grass and meadow growth push up naturally between them. The result is a green space that looks slightly different through the seasons while staying fully usable year-round.

Right next to the park stands Can Bofí Vell, a heritage building typical of Catalan rural architecture, and the Camp Municipal de Badalona sports facility — both make it easy to combine a visit here with a short walk around the rest of Montigalà. Since 2024, the park has also hosted a new children's and youth play area, located across from the Joan Llongueras school and the IE Llibertat institute, covering more than 500 square meters and including features such as a zip line — a solid option for families traveling with kids.

When to visit?

Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, when temperatures suit longer walks and the Mediterranean-climate vegetation looks its fullest. In summer, early morning or evening hours are more comfortable, since Badalona's midday heat can be intense. Thanks to its open, grass-and-meadow character, the park also works well as a picnic spot or a place to pause while exploring Montigalà.

Who is it for?

G5 park suits anyone looking for a quiet green corner away from Badalona's tourist center — people who enjoy walking, running, or simply spending time outdoors. The new play area makes it a good choice for families with children as well, and its proximity to the Camp Municipal de Badalona sports facility may appeal to visitors interested in local sporting life.
