Tivoliparken, Public park in Bergshamra district, Solna, Sweden.
Tivoliparken is a public park in the Bergshamra district of Solna that extends on a peninsula into Brunnsviken. The grounds feature walking paths, restored terraces, and landscaped green spaces designed according to Fredrik Magnus Piper's original layout.
The name Tivoli refers to Gustav III's Italian journey of 1783–1784 and the town of Tivoli near Rome. Count Gustav Philip Creutz, owner of the estate at Brunnsviken, sought a retreat there for his health and engaged Fredrik Magnus Piper, the king's landscape architect, to lay out an English park. Paths and viewing terraces were begun, but work stopped when Creutz died in 1785; Gustav III then moved the planned palace to Hagaparken in 1786.
The park holds a connection to composer Joseph Martin Kraus, whose grave visitors can find among the green spaces. This memorial reflects the site's artistic past.
The park lies on a peninsula in northern Brunnsviken, with the eastern height called Pipers park, locally Blåsippsberget. Paths follow Fredrik Magnus Piper's drawings, and Solna stad recreated the original terraces and walkways in 1998. A footpath with bridges runs on the flood embankment built in 2019–2020 by the allotment area.
During the Second World War, between 1939 and 1945, the grounds hosted an anti-aircraft battery with about 100 soldiers stationed there. This unit achieved a notable success when it intercepted a German courier plane.
