Sofienbergparken

Sofienbergparken spans 74 hectares of green space in central Oslo, featuring walking paths, lawn areas, and a central church within its boundaries.

The land transformed from a cemetery established in 1858 to a public park through a gradual conversion process that concluded in 1972.

The park maintains a preserved section of the Jewish cemetery, reflecting the multicultural heritage of Oslo's community through the generations.

The grounds include table tennis facilities, children's play areas, public restrooms, and designated spots for summer barbecue activities.

The park contains Sofienberg Church, which changed names multiple times before receiving its current designation in 1962.
