The lake is located at the top of the park presents a remarkable biodiversity, highlighting different species of birds, fish and turtles, often illegally deposited in the lake and modifying the original ecosystem.
In May 2012 the school Martí Pol sponsored this park as part of the actions of the School Agenda 21. The aim of this sponsorship was aware of the students' families about the importance of respecting and caring for the park, especially in the area of the lake that lies in front of the center.
In early 2015 expanded the area of the park at the top due to the expansion of Lluis Mas district.
