Østre Anlæg, City park in Denmark
Østre Anlæg is a park in Aalborg covering about 6.5 hectares with a small lake in the center. It features winding paths for walking or biking, benches along the water, a children's playground with swings and a slide, and flower beds with trees and bushes selected for the chalk-rich soil.
The park was officially opened in 1934 to serve the growing community after apartment buildings were built in the 1920s. The site was originally a clay pit and marshy field before being converted into a park, with a children's playground added in 1937.
The park's name refers to its eastern location in the city. It functions as a gathering place where neighbors and families spend time together, and where local children grow up visiting for play and relaxation.
The park is just a few minutes' walk from Aalborg's city center and offers a quiet escape from urban noise. The flat terrain with well-marked paths is easy to navigate for visitors of all ages, with shaded spots under old trees.
The lake formed from old clay pits once used for brick making, connecting the site's industrial past with its current natural landscape. This transformation has made the water a valuable habitat where ducks and other waterbirds now swim and rest.
