Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta
Park Wooded park in Barcelona with a small castle

Parc del Castell de l’Oreneta is a municipal park in the Barcelona area, named after the small castle feature that gives the site its name. It serves as a neighbourhood green area within the city’s western/central districts.
The park combines planted areas and pedestrian routes and is used for local recreation and informal outdoor activities. Its name indicates the presence of a castell or castell-like feature within the park which is a focal point for visitors.
Maintenance and oversight are provided by Barcelona’s municipal authorities, and the park functions as a public urban green space rather than a large historic park. It is geared to everyday use by residents and visitors to the neighbourhood.
Located within Barcelona’s municipal area, the park sits on the slopes between built-up districts and the nearby hills of the Collserola area.
