The park's central monument was inaugurated in 1947 to honor the 765 crew members who perished when the cruiser Baleares was sunk in 1938.
The park is located on the site of a former riverbed, as the Riera torrent was diverted to prevent flooding in Palma's historic center.
The skate park area is a popular hub for Palma's youth culture and is frequently cited as a primary training spot for local urban sports.
The name 'Sa Feixina' is derived from the Mallorquín term for a strip or band of land, referring to the long, linear nature of the park's terrain.
Sa Feixina Park is a prominent urban green space situated along the Riera torrent in Palma de Mallorca. The park is defined by the central monument dedicated to the cruiser Baleares, which commemorates the lives lost during the Spanish Civil War. The site features a comprehensive playground area designed for children and a specialized concrete skate park frequently used by local enthusiasts. Its layout incorporates tree-lined walking paths and multiple benches situated under mature canopy cover. The park serves as a key transitional zone between the historic city center and the Santa Catalina neighborhood. It remains a focal point for neighborhood recreation and outdoor social activity throughout the year.

Visit during the early evening to watch local skateboarders practice at the park's dedicated facilities.
The park provides a direct pedestrian route between the Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Santa Catalina district.
Use the shaded seating areas beneath the mature trees to escape the midday heat.
Do not treat the cruiser monument as a climbing structure, as it is a somber memorial; avoid visiting during peak midday sun in summer due to limited shade in the open skate areas.
