University Park, Urban park at Aarhus University, Denmark

The University Park spans 15 hectares with two artificial lakes, providing a natural environment for waterfowl and amphibians in central Aarhus.

Danish architects Kay Fisker, C. F. Møller, and Povl Stegmann collaborated with landscape architect Carl Theodor Sørensen to create this park in 1933.

The park design earned recognition in the Danish Culture Canon, representing excellence in Danish landscape architecture and educational environment planning.

Students and employees can access designated parking spaces within the park, with new regulations limiting free parking to two hours for visitors.

An amphitheater constructed in 1949 hosts the annual boat race between university faculties, drawing participation from the entire academic community.
