Østre Anlæg, Public park in Østerbro, Copenhagen, Denmark
Østre Anlæg is a public park in Østerbro featuring three connected lakes surrounded by winding paths, lush green areas, and dense woodland spread across gently rolling terrain. The grounds offer multiple sections for walking, resting, and spending time near water features and trees.
The park was established in 1870 through the conversion of Copenhagen's former military fortifications and defensive structures into public green space. This transformation shaped the development of the Østerbro district and created a central recreational area for the city.
The Decorative Arts Museum sits along the southern edge, bringing art and nature together in the heart of the city. Visitors encounter cultural institutions while walking through the green spaces.
The park has designated off-leash dog areas, barbecue facilities, and table tennis tables located throughout the grounds. Visitors should allow time to explore different paths and select the best route based on their interests.
The Denmark Monument, which commemorates King Christian IX and Queen Louise's golden wedding anniversary, was relocated to its current position within the park. The monument stands as a notable feature that many visitors overlook while exploring the natural landscape.
