Tegnérlunden, Park on the Norrmalm–Vasastan border, Stockholm, Sweden

Tegnérlunden is a park on the border of Norrmalm and Vasastan in central Stockholm, crossed by Tegnérgatan and bounded on the west by Upplandsgatan. Its centre is a hill topped by a fountain pavilion, with an artificial stream running down the slope through small water mirrors and a small stone arch bridge into an irregular paddling pool. A bronze statue of August Strindberg stands in the eastern part, and a small bronze of Astrid Lindgren in the northwest.

Tegnérlunden opened in the 1890s on the site of two grain and hemp mills, the older built in 1693 and the younger in 1724, after the windmills were demolished. It was then Stockholm's smallest park. In the early 1940s city gardener Holger Blom and Erik Glemme redesigned it, adding the fountain pavilion on the hilltop and the artificial stream.

The park's two author statues carry specific details. Carl Eldh's bronze of August Strindberg, placed on the hill in 1942, has scenes from Strindberg's literary works carved on the sides of its base. The small 1996 bronze by Majalisa Alexandersson shows Astrid Lindgren embracing a child, with characters and quotes from her books on it.

The park is easy to walk through with clear pathways that connect different sections, and multiple entrances make it accessible from different directions. The best time to visit is during the warmer months when the gardens are in bloom and seating areas are most comfortable.

The opening of Astrid Lindgren's 'Mio, min Mio' is set here: it is in Tegnérlunden that the boy Bo Vilhelm Olsson meets the spirit who takes him to the Land of Faraway. The 1996 bronze statue of Lindgren, made by Majalisa Alexandersson, shows her embracing a child and carries figures and quotes from her books.
