The closure was implemented following the recent llevantada (storm) and heavy rainfall, which saturated the ground, increasing the danger of pine trees falling, particularly in the wooded area near Barcelona Street. The measure was purely preventive, as no trees actually fell during the partial closure period.

Despite the reopening of Parc del Migdia, other key green spaces remain affected. The Jardins de la Devesa continue to be closed for the same reason. In this area, located behind the Rosaleda building, three additional plane trees are still scheduled for felling due to risk, although no date has been set.
This situation affects the planning of events such as the Ludivers Festival, scheduled between May 22 and 24, whose location might need to be relocated. The Councilor for Climate Action, Sergi Cot, indicated in the December plenary session that the Council was studying relocating activities to prevent soil compaction in the Devesa area.
Likewise, the Jardins de les Pedreres also suffered damage, with five trees falling. Last week, felling tasks were completed for the specimens that posed a risk—those heavily inclined and with shallow roots—allowing this park to reopen.
