Hoglands park

Hoglands Park is an urban park in central Karlskrona featuring formal gardens, decorated pathways, and scattered statues arranged in a French-style layout. The design combines structured flower beds with architectural elements, creating a unified garden composition.

The site was originally Neptune's Market before transforming into a park during 1813 to 1825. King Charles XIII gave it its current name, establishing it as a public space for the growing city.

The park hosts city festivals and cultural events throughout the year, with pavilions displaying works by local artists. It serves as a natural gathering place where residents experience art and community life in an open-air setting.

The park is easily accessible with nearby bus stops and remains open year-round with unrestricted access. Visitors should prepare for changing weather, as the grounds offer no covered shelter.

Several trees in the park date to the 1720s, ranking among Karlskrona's oldest planned urban plantings. These ancient specimens reveal how early the city valued greenery as part of its urban design.
