Fælledparken

Fælledparken is a 58-hectare public park in Copenhagen with open green areas, tree-lined pathways, a lake, and flower gardens spread throughout. The grounds include various sports facilities such as Northern Europe's largest skatepark, multiple soccer fields, a traffic training playground, and exercise stations.

The park opened in 1914 as a recreational space for Copenhagen's growing population during the city's early 20th-century expansion. Its creation was part of broader urban planning efforts to provide green spaces as the city developed rapidly.

The park has been the main gathering place for Copenhagen's May Day celebration on the 1st, drawing crowds who come together to mark a long-standing tradition. Throughout the year, various festivals and community events transform different areas into spaces where locals gather for shared activities.

The park is accessible from multiple entrances with wide pathways suitable for strollers and wheelchairs throughout. Given its size, visitors should plan time to explore different sections, as getting from one area to another requires walking fairly long distances.

The park contains specialized sensory gardens for children where visitors can touch and explore different plants and textures in designed spaces. These quieter corners often go unnoticed, yet they provide memorable experiences for those who find them.
