Kroksbäcksparken, Urban park in Hyllie, Malmö, Sweden.
Kroksbäcksparken is a 26-hectare park in Malmö's Väster district, between Kroksbäck and Holma. Its southern part is hilly, with seven hills built from excavation soil; the centre has meadows and ponds, and the north holds sports pitches. A snow-covered dome-shaped hill shows sled tracks, while an artificial-turf pitch with curved white lines and a black-and-white wavy ribbon stands nearby.
Kroksbäcksparken was laid out in the 1970s on former farmland. Its seven hills were built from excavation soil left over from the development of the neighbouring districts of Kroksbäck and Holma. In the 1980s long-lived trees were planted to give the park a more natural look, and in the 1990s ponds and a butterfly sanctuary were added in the northern part.
This green space serves as a gathering place for neighbors from surrounding districts who come for celebrations and everyday social activities. People of all ages use it to spend time outdoors and connect with their community.
Kroksbäcksparken lies between the Kroksbäck and Holma districts in western Malmö, with the northern part holding sports pitches and the southern part rising into hills. The ponds and butterfly sanctuary sit in the northern section. The park is mainly used by residents of Kroksbäck and Holma rather than by people from other parts of Malmö.
The undulating football pitch in Kroksbäcksparken is described as the world's first of its kind. Its curved white lines and a tall wavy black-and-white ribbon marker stand on bright green artificial turf, with a dark cylindrical post and low orange blocks nearby. The pitch sits in the park's northern sports area, beside a low concrete retaining edge and a floodlight.
