The policy had to fulfill two goals:
- Protect, study and promote Gaudí's work, as established in UNESCO's requirements, and to offer a high-quality visiting experience.
- Allow the park has to remain an urban park, that would remain as a space for the community, and even a place for individual and collective memories.
As per the policy, access to the Monumental Zone, which represents 7.9 percent of the total area of the park, was restricted. Purchasing a ticket would allow visitors access to 12 hectares of the park. The rest of the park can be accessed for free.
