This means that there will be extra space for additional projects should anything suitable be considered in the future.

As an add on to the park three rooms will be constructed, all completely soundproofed, which will be managed by the Racó Jove and used as rehearsal rooms by a number of different town bands. There will also be an area for anyone who might want to practice break-dancing.
