The gardens dedicated to the poet Eduard Marquina, also known as Jardins del Turó Park, were built at the beginning of the 20th century, specifically in 1934, where the old Turó Park amusement park was located (1912- 1929), located on an extensive estate owned by the Bertrand-Girona family. The project was the work of the architect, garden designer and urban planner Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí, who designed a garden that incorporated the classic character of Mediterranean gardens and the use of vegetation from English gardens, without forgetting the idea of a communal garden.

Rubió created a space in which the vegetation and the human being were represented in equal parts. This is why it is a space rich in unique tree species and specimens, which plays with the various sculptures located throughout the garden: that of Apel·les Fenosa, dedicated to Pau Casals; that of Josep Clarà, dedicated to Francesc Viñas; A Bird, by Jean Michel Folan; and, in the meadow, La ben plantada, by Eloïsa Cerdan, a bronze piece that pays tribute to the writer Eugeni d'Ors. Presiding over the axis of the parterre of magnolias, there is the Beam of Font de l'Aurora, by Joan Borrell and Nicolau. In addition, several posters with fragments of poems by Federico García Lorca, Fernando Pessoa, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman, Narcís Comadira, Salvador Espriu, Joan Vinyoli and Alfonsina Storni, encourage a poetic journey through the park.

The entrance to the park is through Carrer Bori i Fontestà, and right at the entrance, in a small pond, is the sculpture dedicated to the cellist Pau Casals. The piece is located in an oval square at the bottom of which there are three distinct paths leading into the park: a main one in the centre, and on each side two perimeter paths, all framed by more than fifty oak trees. Perimeter paths on the left lead to a large children's play area and a little further to the pond and meadow. The pond is oval in shape and is covered with nymphs. At the top, there is a large meadow presided over by large linden trees. On the right side is Plaça del Teatret, with a drinks kiosk.

This space is a clear example of the Noucentista garden, designed taking into account the surrounding buildings and urban planning. It was planned as an English "square" of large dimensions, hence the closure on itself.
