About the Vibe
What was once a dumping ground for construction rubble is now one of Sant Feliu's most surprising green spaces. Parc del Cerdanet, opened in 2007, sits on the edge of Collserola Natural Park and serves as a living lesson in ecological recovery — Mediterranean pines, olive trees, and carob trees now grow where debris once piled high. It's not a manicured city park; think of it more as a wild, breathing transition zone between urban Sant Feliu and the forested hills beyond, with informative panels that make it a favorite for school visits and casual walkers alike.
Why it's worth it
A reclaimed landfill reborn as a Mediterranean forest gateway to Collserola, where pines and olive trees now grow over old rubble and wild boar roam between the walking paths.

A former landfill turned Mediterranean green lung on the edge of Collserola
Parc del Cerdanet isn't your typical polished city park — and that's exactly its charm. Born from the environmental recovery of an old landfill site that once received rubble from across the comarca, this 24-acre green space was inaugurated in March 2007 and has since become a quiet green lung for the Les Grases neighborhood. The city planted Mediterranean species — white pine, stone pine, olive, carob, oak, and holm oak — alongside shrubs like broom, blackberry, and borage, and the vegetation has matured into a surprisingly pleasant landscape that feels more like a gentle entrance to Collserola than a urban park.
What makes it special is its pedagogical vocation. Informational panels and school itineraries guide you through the Mediterranean flora and the peculiarities of Collserola's ecosystem, making it a great spot to bring kids who actually want to learn something. Wildlife has moved in too — invertebrates, reptiles, birds, and even the occasional wild boar or hedgehog, thanks to the park's position straddling the urban core and the Collserola Natural Park. The guided visits organized by the city's environmental services office are designed for children and young people, and they're worth checking out if you want more than a casual stroll.
It's not without its limitations. The park is still developing in some areas, and you won't find the amenities of a fully established urban park — no café, no playground equipment to speak of. But if you're looking for a peaceful walk, a bit of nature on the edge of town, or a place to let kids explore the outdoors, Cerdanet delivers a genuinely restorative experience that feels honest about its humble origins.
