Brunnsparken, Urban park in Inom Vallgraven, Sweden
Brunnsparken is an urban park located at the heart of Gothenburg, positioned between Nordstan and Arkaden shopping areas. It occupies the space bordered by Norra Hamngatan and Sodra Hamngatan, two of the city's oldest streets, and contains planted areas alongside paved circulation paths.
The space got its name from a stone well house built in 1834 by Hans Jacob Cavallin, which operated as a health facility until 1858. Though that original structure no longer stands, its name remains attached to this central location.
The statue Johanna stands at the western end of this park and has become a landmark visitors naturally seek out. Two bronze lions near Stora Hamnkanalen add to the artworks that define how the space feels.
The site has excellent public transport connections with multiple stops located nearby for easy access. Visitors will find clear walking paths and can easily navigate between the adjacent shopping areas.
A major renovation in 2020 redesigned the layout with symmetrical pathways and upgraded lighting throughout the space. This redesign prioritized planting areas to help offset the overall reduction in tree coverage across the park.
