Cornelis park, Park in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Cornelis park is a public park in the eastern section of Stockholm with expansive green spaces, walking paths, and areas to sit. The grounds offer multiple entry points around the perimeter and include benches positioned along the pathways for visitor comfort.
Cornelis park was created following a decision by Stockholm City Council and inaugurated on 21 June 2000. It occupies the eastern end of Mäster Mikaels gata, on Glasbruksklippan at the corner of Katarinavägen and Renstiernas gata. The site is named after the troubadour Cornelis Vreeswijk, and in 2007 a statue of him by Bitte Jonason Åkerlund was placed here.
