With a little luck you will see some birds, especially ducks.

A well-known route, but not because of its great age, and in this case because of the amount of water it carries.

This green space is located on the land formerly occupied by the emblematic truck factory of ENASA (Empresa Nacional de Autocamiones, SA), between the old historic centers of Sant Andreu and La Sagrera. The name of the park comes from the popular Pegaso trucks that were produced in this factory. The park was designed by the architects Enric Batlle and Joan Roig and was inaugurated in 1986. Pegasus, the winged horse that was ENASA's emblem for many years, has been reproduced on the pavement of a small circular square located at an elevated end of the park. The entrance door of the old truck factory is preserved, which is now the main access to this green space, as well as the office building, which has been used for neighborhood facilities. A memory of mid-20th century industrial architecture. The lake, as the most unique element and backbone of the space, was the subject of a comprehensive rehabilitation in 2011. The intervention has solved the problems of filtration and sanitation that this sheet of water had presented since it was emptied in 2008 as a result of the drought decree. For this reason, the lake basin has been waterproofed and new machinery has been installed to recirculate the flows. In addition, the facilities have been left ready for the future connection to the Sagrera groundwater network that is being developed. The fountains and their lighting with low consumption lamps have also been renewed. To all these improvements it is necessary to add that the control of the machinery is done remotely.

Place and space for bird watching during migratory periods. Natural water purification system.

The main characteristic of the park is its proximity to the river, its character as a connecting element between the city and the fluvial space, to which it acts as an open entrance hall. Park and river together form one of the most stimulating places in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Can Zam is in the shape of an irregular square with a geometric design of very marked lines. A central promenade, which follows the route of Victor Hugo street, acts as a dividing line between two sectors with different characteristics. The first, closest to the mountain, with a large square and vegetation reminiscent of that of the neighboring hills; and the lowest and closest to the river, with a large lake and a clear predominance of riverside plant species. Singular vegetation: El Pollancre (isolated 50-year-old poplar that can be distinguished from afar).

At one end of Santa Coloma, between the Serralada de Marina and the Besòs river, this beautiful park of Can Zam occupies a part of the lowlands, close to the river, where the garden crops of the neighboring farmhouses were traditionally located. The Can Zam park was inaugurated in 1999. It has an area of 113,405 m2 In the park there is unique vegetation, sculptures, a beautiful lake, a spring, children's games, soccer goals, basketball hoops, a skateboard track, a petanque court, drinking fountains, parking for bicycles and cars, a bar and WC.

The Can Borrell reservoir is a small Spanish hydraulic infrastructure built on the Rabassada torrent, located in the municipality of Sant Cugat del Vallés, in the Vallés Occidental region, province of Barcelona, Catalonia. It was built to supply water to the Can Borrell farmhouse. Regarding the vegetation, the environment of the swamp is dominated by a Mediterranean oak forest and a Mediterranean white pine forest.

Hydraulic infrastructure built at the head of the Vallvidrera stream, the most important watercourse in the Collserola mountain range, collects the rains from a territory of about 135 hectares of this mountain range. The dam began to be built in 1850 with the aim of guaranteeing the water supply to the old municipality of Sarrià.
