Tessinparken

Tessinparken, Public park in Gärdet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Tessinparken is a T-shaped park on Gärdet, running from Valhallavägen in the south to Askrikegatan in the north, laid out by architect Arvid Stille as a symmetrical continuation of Karlaplan. Its southern half follows a contemporary baroque design with plantings, straight gravel paths and a fountain; the northern half is more modern, with a splash pool and Egon Möller-Nielsen's play sculpture Ägget. A parklek (staffed play park) also operates here, and tree-lined Hedinsgatan and De Geersgatan flank the park to the west and east.

The park was established between 1932 and 1940 and is named after three generations of the Tessin architect family who shaped Swedish architecture. This naming honors an artistic legacy spanning centuries that influenced how Sweden was designed and built.

The park's name, given in 1931, honours three generations of Tessin architects: Nicodemus the Elder, Nicodemus the Younger and Carl Gustaf Tessin. In the northern part stands Egon Möller-Nielsen's play sculpture 'Ägget' (The Egg) from 1952, beside a splash pool; the southern part has Olof Thorwald Ohlsson's 'Husmorssemester' from 1973.

The park runs from Valhallavägen in the south to Askrikegatan in the north, with tree-lined Hedinsgatan on the west side and De Geersgatan on the east. The southern half has straight gravel paths and a fountain; the northern half holds the play sculpture and splash pool. A parklek (staffed play park) is on site.

Tessinparken's southern half is laid out as a contemporary baroque garden, a symmetrical northern continuation of Karlaplan's axis. The park holds two sculptures: Olof Thorwald Ohlsson's "Husmorssemester" from 1973 and Egon Möller-Nielsen's play sculpture "Ägget" from 1952, which children can climb on.
