Nackas hörna, Urban park in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Nackas hörna is a small urban park in Södermalm located at the corner of two streets and dominated by a striking steel monument. The monument depicts a figure emerging from a newspaper page while simultaneously shooting toward a real metal goal.
Stockholm City Council officially named the location Nackas hörna in 2001, honoring footballer Lennart Skoglund who was born and died in this area. The monument was erected to recognize his ties to Södermalm and his impact on the neighborhood's football culture.
The location bears the name of Lennart Skoglund, a local football hero whose memory is still spoken of with pride by neighbors and visitors alike. The monument serves as a gathering point where people remember the player's connection to the area and reflect on the neighborhood's sporting heritage.
The park sits at the intersection of two busy streets and is easy to locate and visit. Its compact location means there is limited space to linger, but the monument itself is clearly visible from the street.
Young Lennart Skoglund practiced football with friends at this very spot, and today a cobblestone area still marks where he trained. The location has transformed from an everyday playing ground into a memorial space that preserves the story of a local sports hero.
