Nygårdsparken, Urban park in Bergen, Norway
Nygårdsparken is an urban park in Bergen with winding paths, open grass areas, and many different tree species planted throughout. The grounds slope gently uphill, creating varied vistas and rest spots at different elevations.
The park was founded in 1880 by two physicians who wanted to create a new green space for the city, and it officially opened in 1885. In the late 1800s, it hosted major exhibitions and events that shaped Bergen's cultural life.
The name comes from 'Nygård', meaning 'new farm', reflecting its origins as private land. Visitors and locals use the paths and open spaces today to walk and take breaks from the city.
The park has several entry points, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city. Fixed paths run through the grounds, though some sections can be slippery when wet.
The park holds a monument connected to famous polar exploration history and today uses digital storytelling to share its past. Visitors can learn more about different areas through podcasts produced about the space.
