Kronobergsparken, Public park in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden
Kronobergsparken is a 5.5-hectare park in Kungsholmen featuring winding paths, open grass areas, and diverse tree plantings. The space combines recreational facilities with natural landscaping that draws locals and visitors year-round.
The rocky terrain was transformed into a green space starting in 1883, with development continuing until 1912 under Stockholm's first city gardener. This early park project helped establish modern gardening practices in the city.
The Jewish Cemetery of Kronoberg, located in the western center of the park since 1787, remains a quiet space where visitors can see gravestones and monuments that tell the story of Stockholm's Jewish community. The cemetery sits within the larger green space, creating a meaningful contrast between remembrance and recreation.
The park includes an outdoor gym, playground, small sports field, and dog park spread throughout the grounds. During winter, sledding hills provide additional recreational options for families with children.
The park sits at the highest elevation in the Kungsholmen district, standing about 40 meters above sea level. This raised location creates distinct views and changing light throughout the day that many visitors overlook.
