Stadsparken, Public park in Örebro, Sweden.
Stadsparken is an eight-hectare park along the Svartån in Örebro, laid out in its current form in 1933 to a plan by city architect Georg Arn. Its Stadsträdgården section holds a flower garden, rose garden, magnolia grove, rhododendron park and herb garden, plus greenhouses begun in 1871; one now houses a café and restaurant. The park also has a large playground with a paddling pool, an outdoor stage and tennis courts.
Auditor Mats Evald Bäckström founded the Trädplanterings- och Trädgårdsföreningen in 1862 and the land was bought in 1863; planting began in 1865 and the first greenhouse was built in 1871. The city leased the grounds in 1931 and took over the whole area in 1971. The park's present layout dates from 1933, after a proposal by city architect Georg Arn.
The park's name comes from the Swedish word for city park, and it has been a public garden since the late 19th century. The garden sections include a rose garden, a magnolia grove, a rhododendron park and an herb garden. A statue of Cajsa Warg, the 18th-century cookbook author, stands in the park.
The park features wide pathways that are easy to navigate and accessible to visitors of all abilities. A large playground and swimming area make it a convenient destination for families wanting to spend time outdoors.
The greenhouse complex houses an organic goods store and a restaurant, making the park more than just a green space destination. This combination allows visitors to combine time in the gardens with shopping or dining.
