Montjuïc tennis courts pool reopens, expands Barcelona’s summer swimming options
Montjuïc’s renovated pool reenters Barcelona’s summer circuit with €7.92 entry, late Friday hours and a quieter setting near Plaça Espanya.
The Montjuïc Municipal Tennis Courts pool rejoined Barcelona’s summer swim map after renovation, giving residents a calmer outdoor training spot just five minutes from Plaça Espanya. Managed by Reial Societat de Tennis Pompeia, the site pairs six tennis courts and three padel courts with an outdoor pool inside the Montjuïc green belt, a combination that makes it feel closer to a sports complex than a standard city pool.
Barcelona city listings place the facility at Avinguda de Miramar 31–41 in Poble-sec, in Sants-Montjuïc, and classify it as a public center accessible to people with physical disabilities. The 2026 summer season at Piscines Municipals Montjuïc runs from June 8 to September 6. Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, then 11:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday and on holidays. General admission is €7.92, while children under 15 and seniors pay €5.48. The city also lists multi-entry passes for adults, children and families.
The reopening matters because it adds a less crowded option to the city’s seasonal swimming network. Barcelona’s summer pool rollout includes 15 outdoor pools, and the Montjuïc site broadens that offer by bringing a club-run facility into the public mix. For swimmers looking for laps, for athletes pairing a swim with tennis or padel, and for anyone who wants a recovery session without the scale of a full resort pool, the location has a practical appeal that goes beyond the scenery.
The timing also fits neatly with the work that made the reopening possible. Reial Societat de Tennis Pompeia said renovation work on the pool began on November 17, 2025, with a planned five-month schedule, setting up the site for summer 2026. That return carries some club history with it as well: Barcelona city records say the organization was forced to leave its original location in the 1950s and asked the city to relocate it to the Montjuïc tennis courts, where it remains today.
In a city that had 14 municipal outdoor pools opening progressively in 2025, Montjuïc now stands out for its hybrid identity. It is public, but shaped by a club tradition that gives it a different rhythm, and that is exactly what makes it useful for residents mapping out a summer routine around exercise, recovery and a more manageable pool experience.
