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.
The spot where Brännerigatan meets Katarina Bangata was named Nackas hörna by a decision of Stockholm City Council in 2001. The name honours footballer Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund, who grew up at the adjoining address Katarina Bangata 42. In 1984 the sculptor Olle Adrin's memorial "Vi ses vid målet" was put up here, showing Skoglund curling a corner into goal.
The name comes from footballer Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund, who grew up at Katarina Bangata 42 next to the spot. The nickname "Nacka" is what Stockholmers still use for him, and the corner carries it officially since 2001. The 1984 statue "Vi ses vid målet" by Olle Adrin shows him curling in a corner kick, so the place is a meeting point for local football fans.
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.
The statue "Vi ses vid målet" was made by sculptor Olle Adrin in 1984 and shows Nacka Skoglund curling a corner into the goal, which is how the spot got its name. Skoglund grew up at the neighbouring address Katarina Bangata 42.
