The Open School Playgrounds program is a highly valued resource for families seeking entertainment for young children during non-school periods. This Christmas, every district in the Catalan capital will have at least one available playground, as reported by the council in a statement.
The program aims to enhance the educational and social dimension of school playgrounds, offering a safe and local environment for families, children, and teenagers to carry out activities.
Each center will have a monitoring service responsible for opening and closing the facilities, ensuring proper use, and organizing activities. Most of these spaces will be open Monday through Sunday from 11 AM to 2 PM, excluding designated public holidays.
The 15 educational centers participating in the initiative are distributed throughout the city. In Ciutat Vella, these include the Institut Pau Claris and Escola Drassanes; in Eixample, Escola Ramon Llull; and in Sants-Montjuïc, Escola Lluís Vives. In the upper area, the Escola Duran i Bas in Les Corts and the Institut Menéndez-Pelayo in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi will open. In Gràcia, it will be the Escola Rius i Taulet. Finally, in Horta-Guinardó, the Escola de les Aigües and the Institut Escola Coves d'en Cimany will open; in Nou Barris, the Escola Calderón and the Biblioteca Escola Mercè Rodoreda; in Sant Andreu, the Escola Doctor Ferran i Clua; and in Sant Martí, the schools Concepción Arenal, Antoni Brusi, and Eduard Marquina.
