Parc de Montjuïc

Covering more than 450 hectares, it brings together leisure, business, culture, sport and nature in a single, privileged space. Its value as a green space is especially notable: after the Collserola, it is the city's largest park. 

In terms of mobility, the Parc Montjuïc Unit manages the mountain's escalators: 22 sections linking Avinguda Maria Cristina with La Recta de l’Estadi. Used by thousands of people every day, they cover a height difference of 52 metres. 

The escalators normally run from 7 am to 12 midnight, except on days when events are held at Parc de Montjuïc. 

The Unit also coordinates efforts to minimise the impact on everyday life in the park and notifies operators of any incidents that could affect accessibility or mobility. In this respect, it works to keep the mountain's public space is optimally maintained, ensuring accessibility and sustainability in coordination with all parties involved, including the Sants-Montjuïc Distric Offices and the Lighting and Parks and Gardens departaments, among other municipal services. 

The Unit conducts daily inspections in Parc Montjuïc to detect any incident, whether caused by operators or linked to maintenance: broken streetlights, burn-out bulbs, raised paving stones, fallen bollards, damaged pavements and the like.  

The Parc de Montjuïc Unit includes an inspection team (civic officers), who photograph incidents and pinpoint them on a map used to pass the information on to the municipal operator responsible for resolving them. 

When it comes to events, the Unit helps manage the mobility involved in staging them, working alongside the Anella Olímpica, the Guardia Urbana and other police forces. It also helps coordinate major events and manage any resulting incidents, together with maintenance crews and civic agents. 

Other tasks conducted by the Unit include monitoring construction sites, working with the Guardia Urbana on abandoned vehicles and, together with Social Services, the Guardia Urbana, the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Sants-Montjuïc District Office, supporting the management of homelessness. The Unit also manages the six catering venues on Montjuïc mountain. 

It likewise manages the Sot del Migdia area according to changing mobility and space-use needs, such as parking for trade fairs and conferences at Fira de Barcelona, event parking and logistics use.
