The park is part of the 'Anella Verda' (Green Ring), a project designed to connect the various natural spaces surrounding the city of Sabadell.
The onsite restaurant, Can Gambús, operates within a restored farmhouse that dates back centuries, reflecting the region's historical rural past.
The park was designed to act as a flood-control zone, using its ponds to naturally manage rainwater runoff from the city.
The area was previously designated for agricultural use before being redeveloped into a public ecological park.
The park provides a habitat for various local bird species and pollinators, acting as an ecological corridor in the metropolitan area.
Parc de Can Gambús is a 13-hectare urban park located on the western edge of Sabadell, characterized by its integration into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The park serves as a green buffer zone between the city and the neighboring municipality of Sant Quirze del Vallès. It features extensive Mediterranean vegetation, including holm oaks, pines, and carob trees. The site includes a prominent restaurant housed in a rehabilitated traditional farmhouse, 'Masia de Can Gambús,' which preserves local architectural heritage. A large, modern playground area is situated near the restaurant, designed for children with diverse structures. The park incorporates sustainable water management systems through a series of retention ponds. Walking paths connect the park to the wider agricultural fields of the Galliners forest area. The park's layout emphasizes the transition from urban infrastructure to open countryside.
