Vigerslevparken, Public park in Hvidovre Municipality, Denmark
Vigerslevparken is a large public space that stretches from Damhussøen Lake in the north to Valbyparken in the south, offering a range of recreational areas. The grounds include multiple sports fields, broad paths, and open grassy areas suited for walking, jogging, and spending time outdoors.
The land was gradually transformed from agricultural grounds into a municipal park between 1929 and 1963. The park and the adjacent Damhussøen Lake received protected status in 2010 to preserve this green space for future generations.
The name comes from Vigar, an early settler who established a farm here and gave rise to the village of Vigarsløv. You can sense this historical connection as you walk through the green spaces and notice how the old village name relates to the park today.
The park is easily accessible by bicycle thanks to the Folehave Bridge, which has provided safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians over the motorway since 2020. The various sports fields are spread throughout the grounds, so a walk around helps you explore all the different areas.
Located near Damhussøen Lake is a water laboratory where visitors learn about drinking water properties and water quality. This facility demonstrates how researchers test and monitor water conditions for environmental purposes.
