Les Cascades Park, built on coastal land that the city reclaimed for the 1992 Olympic Games, is an open avenue, a gateway to what was then the Olympic Village and a path to the beaches in the heart of dense, typically Mediterranean vegetation.

The park, under which passes a section of the Ronda del Litoral ring road, is named after a cascade, or waterfall, that descends from a pool towards its namesake avenue. An ensemble that can be see from the small, round, raised square at the side of the water.

This is the first of a series of parks that stretch almost to Sant Adrià del Besòs. Pedestrians can take the paths between the plants, crossed by the occasional street.
