Aborreparken, Public park in central Copenhagen, Denmark
Aborreparken is a public park in central Copenhagen with landscaped grounds, natural water bodies, and gardens spread across varying terrain levels. The park has multiple entry points connecting to surrounding neighborhoods, with walking paths that link to nearby streets and public transport stops.
The park was created in 1886 on the site of Copenhagen's former fortification ring, establishing it as green space for the public. The layout transformed significantly around 1910 when infrastructure projects reshaped the grounds.
The site once housed a Free Exhibition Building created by painter J.F. Willumsen, reflecting Copenhagen's tradition of supporting artistic spaces in public areas. This artistic legacy continues to shape how people experience the grounds today.
The park is easy to access on foot and well-connected to public transportation through multiple entry points. The various walking paths allow flexibility in how you move through the grounds depending on where you start or want to go.
Industrial buildings from the 1850s waterworks still stand on the grounds, distinguished by their bright yellow bricks. These structures offer a glimpse into Copenhagen's engineering heritage and create an unexpected contrast with the modern park layout.
