Tivoliparken, Public park and museum complex in Kristianstad, Sweden.
Tivoliparken is a city park in central Kristianstad, bounded to the west by the Helge å river. It holds bird ponds, plantings and playgrounds, and in its middle stands the city theatre, designed by Axel Anderberg, a two-storey building with pale walls, a green roof and the word "TEATER" above its arched entrance. The site was first known as Commendantsängen.
The park's origins trace back to the early 1800s when commander Georg Cedergren began planting trees and establishing the green space. Later, JH Romann undertook significant development of the grounds, shaping the park into its present layout and character.
The park's name comes from the Tivoli pleasure-ground tradition, and its grounds hold memorial stones to Georg Cedergrén, J.H. Romann and Axel Ankarcrona. Fornstugan, built as a museum in 1886 and protected since 1982, now serves as a café in summer. A pergola garden designed by artist Svenolof Sundberg was inaugurated in the northern end in summer 2011.
The park lies west of Kristianstad's centre, bounded on its west side by the Helge å. The theatre stands in the middle of the grounds, with the Fornstugan nearby; memorial stones for Romann and Ankarcrona are placed behind the theatre and at the main entrance. A pergola garden designed by Svenolof Sundberg was inaugurated in the northern end in summer 2011. Fornstugan serves refreshments in summer.
The tree list in the sources names 40 species, among them ginkgo, dawn redwood, Caucasian wingnut and Japanese pagoda tree. The northern end of the park holds a pergola garden designed by the artist Svenolof Sundberg, inaugurated in summer 2011.
