A small oasis nestled among fields and pines, where the still water reflects the sky like a mirror broken by frogs. This pond, once used for irrigation and livestock watering, has become a natural refuge for birds, dragonflies, and turtles. On calm days, only the buzzing of insects and the splashing of the occasional stray toad can be heard. A humble corner, yet teeming with life.

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.

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).
