In Barcelona, Creueta del Coll lake is one of the public places residents can use to cool off in summer. The lake sits in El Coll, in the Gràcia district, and the Ajuntament de Barcelona presents it as a useful urban space during periods of intense heat.

The lake is part of [Parc de la Creueta del Coll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc%5Fde%5Fla%5FCreueta%5Fdel%5FColl?ref=barna.news), a park that gives families and individuals a place to rest and swim. Barcelona’s hot summers make accessible water spaces important for everyday life, especially for people who want an alternative to beaches or private pools.

The park was once a quarry, then it was turned into green space with a large bathing lake. According to [Barcelona Tourism](https://www.barcelonaturisme.com/wv3/en/page/377/parc-de-la-creueta-del-coll.html?ref=barna.news), that change created a valuable public resource for local communities in Gràcia, a district with more than 120,000 residents.

The city council continues to maintain spaces like this so they remain open and usable for Barcelona residents. That matters for both leisure and public health, because shaded parks and water features can make a real difference in warm weather.
