Jarlaplan, Public park in Vasastan, Stockholm, Sweden.

The park extends along Birger Jarlsgatan and features green spaces with plantings designed to capture and manage substantial amounts of rainwater.

The area, formerly known as Träskängen in the late 19th century, contained remnants of the Stora Träsket lake that had been filled with urban waste.

The park houses the sculpture 'Drottningen och hennes skepp' by Björn Erling Evensen, relocated from Stureplan in 2018.

The park renovation project includes systems to collect 120,000 liters of water, helping prevent flooding in central Stockholm neighborhoods.

The park transforms into a water retention basin during heavy rainfall, protecting surrounding areas while maintaining its function as a recreational space.
