Tangkrogen

Tangkrogen is a public park beside the Bay of Aarhus featuring open grassy fields and paved areas for events and gatherings. The layout combines wide lawns with sufficient space for various activities along the waterfront.

The name comes from seaweed that once filled the cove before piers were built there. Its transformation into a recreation park in the early 1900s changed it into a new kind of public space.

The central area hosts circuses, markets, concerts, and celebrations that draw people from across the city. These events shape daily life and make this place a key gathering spot for the community.

The park provides drinking fountains, public toilets, and ample parking for visitors with cars. Public transportation routes along Strandvejen and Hans Broges Gade offer the most convenient access.

A waterfront section of the park has dedicated spaces for small recreational boats like kayaks and dinghies, giving it a water sports character. These boat areas make it one of the few inner-city spots where people can use their own watercraft.
