Probably sitting and talking on the shaded benches, boules on the gravel strip mid-morning and again before dark, and the caged pitches passing from children after school to teenagers and then to adults late in the evening.
Sitting and talkingthe shaded benches beside the playground in Parc d'Orriols
Two shifts on the same benches: older neighbours mid-morning with the paper, then grandparents from school pick-up onwards while the little ones are on the slides. The unshaded benches on the other side stay empty all summer — nobody sits in the sun here by choice.

Informal sportthe caged multisport pitches at the north end of Parc d'Orriols
The cages run on an unwritten timetable: primary-age kids straight after school until about dinner, then teenagers take over, and from late evening it's grown men playing five-a-side until the lights go. Winners stay on, and if you turn up alone you just ask who's next.

Informal sportthe petanca strip at the edge of Parc d'Orriols, by the perimeter path
The gravel strip along the park's edge is boules territory — a fixed group of older men, mid-morning and again before dark, with more spectators leaning on the rail than actual players. It's not a club and there's no sign; you'd only know by walking past.
