Björns trädgård

Björns trädgård is a public park in Södermalm with separate areas for play, relaxation, and sport. The space includes playgrounds for different ages, walking routes through trees, and open areas where people can sit.

The land was owned by the Weyler family in the 1600s and later became a botanical garden under Karl Fredrik Björn. This shift from private estate to public space shaped how the park is laid out today.

The place is named after Karl Fredrik Björn, whose family shaped the estate over generations. Visitors can see this personal history reflected in how the space is arranged and maintained today.

The park is located on Gotgatan and easy to reach, with parking available and places to eat nearby. Most visitors spend around two hours here, depending on whether they want to be active or just walk around.

A bronze sculpture called 'Grodan' from 1943 still stands in the park with a greenish patina from age. Next to the park sits a mosque on a small hill, making this area a place where different cultures and traditions meet.
