Un parque lineal en Granollers que recorre el río Congost, integrando naturaleza exuberante con el legado industrial del siglo XIX. Ideal para paseos reflexivos entre verdes y arquitectura histórica.
Congost Park is a natural area with free public access, so it does not have fixed opening or closing hours, and you do not need to book. You can visit any day of the year at any time, although I recommend going during daylight hours to fully enjoy the scenery.
Good news: access to Congost Park is completely free. It is a natural area open to the public, so you can walk its paths and enjoy nature without buying a ticket.
The length of a visit to Congost Park can vary a lot depending on what you feel like doing. If you want a relaxed walk and to enjoy the surroundings, 1 or 2 hours may be enough. If you like to explore more thoroughly, go hiking, or enjoy nature at a slower pace, you could easily spend a whole morning or afternoon there.
Congost Park is a natural area of great ecological and scenic value, shaped by the Congost River, which has eroded the land over centuries to create an impressive gorge. Although it does not have the monumental history of a castle, its importance lies in being a green lung and a vital habitat for various species of flora and fauna in the area. It is a place to connect with unspoiled nature.
The best time to visit Congost Park is spring, when the vegetation is at its most vibrant and the weather is mild, or autumn, for the beauty of the changing leaves. In summer, the early morning or late afternoon is ideal to avoid the heat. By the way, any sunny day is a good day for Congost Park.

Since Congost Park is a natural gorge with paths that can be uneven and sloped, accessibility for people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users is limited in some areas. There are sections that are flatter and more accessible, but a full visit may be difficult. I would recommend checking with Granollers City Council if you need more specific details about access. You can call 938 426 600 or visit the official website: Granollers Citizen Information.
Of course—Granollers has plenty of charm. After visiting Congost Park, you can stroll through the historic center of Granollers and see La Porxada, a spectacular Renaissance building that used to be the grain market. You can also visit the Church of Saint Stephen or enjoy the city’s shopping and dining options. To plan your visit, see this link: Discover Granollers.
To make the most of your visit to Congost Park, I suggest wearing comfortable footwear suitable for walking on natural paths. Don’t forget water, especially in summer. Respect the environment, do not leave litter, and follow the marked trails. If you are visiting with children, they will have a great time. And of course, bring your camera to capture the scenery. Also, respect the local wildlife—they are at home here.
