The Parc del Segre

Munich 72 and the most spectacular of the
canoeing competitions, returned to the
official Olympic Games programme after
an absence of 20 years. The competition
was held at the Parc del Segre in La Seu
d'Urgell.

The new Parc del Segre fulfils an old
municipal ambition to have a park which
would consolidate the position of the city
as a mountain sports centre in the
Pyrenean region. Work was also carried
out on some of the facades which
overlook the River Segre in the historic
centre of the city.
