Skinnarviksparken, Urban park in Södermalm, Sweden

Skinnarviksparken is a park on a hill south of Söder Mälarstrand with grass areas, rocky surfaces, and many tree types. From here you look out over Riddarfjärden water and the shores of Stockholm.

The name Skinnarviken appears in documents from the early 1600s, when tanners, called skinnare, settled here. A 1658 estate inventory names Jöran Marckusson Skinnare, a farm owner at "Skinnarewickz-gatun". Tanners needed plentiful water and worked away from the built-up town because of the smell. The park itself was laid out in the 1930s, though its name was decided in 1915.

The name Skinnarviken appears in documents from the early 1600s, when tanners, called skinnare, settled here; Jöran Marckusson Skinnare is named in a 1658 estate inventory as owner of a property on "Skinnarewickz-gatun". Concerts are held in the park every year, and a coffee kiosk opens in its southern part in summer.

The park sits on a hill with several viewing spots where you can see Stockholm's waterfront and islands. Wear good shoes since some paths go over rocks and uneven ground.

The lower part of the park has held Arne Jones's stainless steel sculpture Progression since 1979. In the southern part, a coffee kiosk has opened in summer since 2010, and concerts are held in the park every year.
