Slottsparken, Public park in Malmö, Sweden.
Slottsparken is a large public park in Malmö with two ponds, grassy areas, and forested sections connected by numerous walking paths. The grounds include a large playground, multiple rest areas, and directly border Malmö City Library.
The land was originally a military training ground for Malmö Hussars in the late 1800s before being converted into a public park in 1900. This transformation marked a turning point in urban development and made the space accessible to all residents.
The park was designed following American principles by Danish landscape architect Edvard Glaesel, shaping its overall character. Today it serves as a festival venue and displays artistic works like the Pegasus sculptures, enriching the city's cultural life.
The park is easy to explore on foot and accessible from the nearby city library. Best times to visit are the warmer months when the green areas feel most welcoming and outdoor activities can be enjoyed fully.
At the park's center stands a Japanese-style fountain that brings an unexpected eastern touch to the European landscape. The southern area also features a rock garden with a small pond near the library, offering a quiet spot for visitors.
