Beyond the green and open route that everyone knows, this space occupies old areas of cultivation and wet meadows that, until the 1970s, served as pasture for the livestock of several farmhouses in the area. Even today, under some unevenness in the terrain, you can sense the old layout of the fields and dry stone banks. During its construction, some traditional water channels were respected, which continue to drain part of the subsoil. Access is easy and the environment maintains that combination of plain and forest typical of the foot of Montseny. A place where the agricultural past still rears its head if you pay a little attention.

A small oasis nestled among fields and pines, where the still water reflects the sky like a mirror broken by frogs. This pond, once used for irrigation and livestock watering, has become a natural refuge for birds, dragonflies, and turtles. On calm days, only the buzzing of insects and the splashing of the occasional stray toad can be heard. A humble corner, yet teeming with life.

The main characteristic of the park is its proximity to the river, its character as a connecting element between the city and the fluvial space, to which it acts as an open entrance hall. Park and river together form one of the most stimulating places in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Can Zam is in the shape of an irregular square with a geometric design of very marked lines. A central promenade, which follows the route of Victor Hugo street, acts as a dividing line between two sectors with different characteristics. The first, closest to the mountain, with a large square and vegetation reminiscent of that of the neighboring hills; and the lowest and closest to the river, with a large lake and a clear predominance of riverside plant species. Singular vegetation: El Pollancre (isolated 50-year-old poplar that can be distinguished from afar).

Trying to use the bins, the last time I visited it was embarrassing, if we continue like this we will end up in a landfill with Ducks and Geese. Where is the City Hall in these cases????
