Parc del Mas Gri

At the southern entrance (or exit, depending on how you look at it) of Girona is a place that many people are unaware of - even though it's just round the corner from two superstores that are regularly visited by hundreds of people, Decathlon and Media Markt. It also happens to be one of the play areas with the best equipment in the city. An urban park without pollution. A miracle! The space is essentially divided into five parts: an area with games for infants, another one for kids from 5 or 6 years to around 10 of 11, a multi-sport court with basketball hoops and goals, an open space around the court for playing other kinds of games and sports (eg, Frisbee), and an area with benches and flowerbeds that's ideal for sitting in the shade of the trees and enjoying a good book. Close by, on the other side of the road, the Bosc de la Pabordia (Pabordia Wood), one of the few remaining ancient forests in the country, is a therapeutic, healthy spot.
