S A Hedlunds park

S A Hedlunds park, Municipal park in Slättadamm district, Gothenburg, Sweden.

S A Hedlunds Park is a municipal park in the Slättadamm district of Gothenburg and features a constructed pond called Slätta damm with walking paths throughout. The grounds are surrounded by cultivated trees and natural vegetation across roughly 1.1 hectares.

Sven Adolf Hedlund bought the Bjurslätt farm in the 1850s and made it his summer residence; around 1860 he dammed a bog to create Slätta damm and planted forest around it. In 1928 the Charles Felix Lindberg donation fund committee proposed that the city buy the area, and on 21 June 1928 the city council approved the purchase and gave the park its name. The fund contributed 25,000 kronor in 1927 and 10,000 kronor in 1930.

Near the southern entrance, a stone marks the park's naming; the real guest book is a vertical rock face by Arvid Lindmansgatan and Wieselgrensgatan, carved with "Hällarne nämna frejdade gäster" and nearly 60 names of S.A. Hedlund's guests, including Viktor Rydberg. The rock gave its name to Hällskriftsgatan, and several names became street names in the surrounding blocks.

The park lies within Hisingsparken, Gothenburg's largest park area, in the Slättadamm and Tuve districts on Hisingen. The southern entrance is marked by a raised stone, and the rock face with carved names stands near the former Bjurslätt farm site, close to where Arvid Lindmansgatan meets Wieselgrensgatan. Slätta damm, the pond Hedlund created, is the central feature to orient by.

The names on the rock face were carved by a stonemason and gilded, with the gilding renewed every year. The wall stands near where the Bjurslätt farm was demolished in the 1950s, and it gave its name to the nearby Hällskriftsgatan street.
