Fredhällsparken, Public park in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden
Fredhällsparken is a public park in Kungsholmen that stretches along Drottningholmsvägen with open grassy areas, large deciduous trees, and established oak specimens. The park features two playgrounds, a tennis court that becomes an ice rink in winter, and Stockholm's largest splash pond with a stream.
Construction of the park began in 1935 following completion of Tranebergsbron bridge and Drottningholmsvägen road under park director Osvald Almqvist's leadership. This development was part of a broader transformation of the area that shaped Stockholm's modern urban planning.
The park embodies Stockholmsstilen design with bronze sculptures like 'Kjolen' by Anita Brusewitz-Hanssons and 'Insektsfåglar' by Ulf Sucksdorff that define the grounds. These artworks give the space an artistic dimension that visitors encounter while walking through.
The park is easily accessible on foot with multiple entry points from surrounding streets. In summer, the open spaces and water features attract visitors, while the ice rink remains popular during winter.
A green corridor connects this park through Rålambshovsparken and Konradsbergsparken to Tranebergssund. This chain of green spaces allows uninterrupted walks through multiple parks and offers visitors a connected nature experience.
