Nedre Foss park

Nedre Foss Park extends over 14,000 square meters, featuring granite pavements, walking paths, and green spaces along the Akerselva river.

Cistercian monks from Hovedøya constructed the original Nedre Foss mill between 1148 and 1200, which operated continuously until its closure in 1985.

The park includes a playground that incorporates elements from the site's milling history, with installations and a waterwheel telling stories of industrial heritage.

Visitors can access the park by taking bus 54 to Kjelsås station or bus 34 to Tåsen, followed by a walk through Kubaparken along Akerselva river.

Rain gardens throughout the park manage excess rainfall, while a fish ladder enables salmon to navigate past the waterfall during spawning season.
