Lergravsparken, Public park in East Amager, Denmark
Lergravsparken is a public park in East Amager featuring expansive grass areas, mature trees, and scattered benches spread across multiple acres. The park includes a children's playground positioned near the metro station and connected pathways throughout its grounds.
The site contained clay pits during the 19th century, which were later converted into a public park officially established in 1905 as Sundby Park. This transformation from industrial land to green space was part of the area's urban development.
World War II bunkers on the grounds now serve as music rehearsal spaces, linking historical structures with contemporary artistic activity. This repurposing shows how old military buildings have found new purpose in the modern community.
The park offers direct access to Lergravsparken metro station and features bicycle parking areas for convenient arrival. Multiple bus lines serve the location, making it accessible from different parts of the city.
The Remisen section preserves a small woodland surrounded by stone walls where plants grow in their natural state. This untended area offers contrast to the more manicured sections elsewhere in the park.
