Brunnsvikens strandbad, Public swimming area in Frescati Hage, Sweden
Brunnsvikens strandbad is a public swimming area on the southeastern shore of Lake Brunnsviken, featuring a sandy beach about 50 meters long. Rocky sections and grass areas line the water's edge, creating different spots for sunbathing and entering the water.
The site sits within Ekoparken, which became Sweden's first national urban park in 1995 to protect its natural and recreational value. This designation secured the area's future as a green space for public enjoyment and environmental conservation.
Local residents maintain Swedish swimming traditions throughout summer months, gathering at fixed platforms and floating docks for community activities.
The beach offers basic facilities during summer months and is easily accessible for casual visits without much planning needed. Dogs are prohibited from June through August, except for service animals that accompany visitors.
Water quality tests for E. coli and intestinal enterococci occur regularly during the swimming season, with results posted every four hours.
