Ånghästparken

Ånghästparken, Urban park in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden.

Ånghästparken is a linear park on Södermalm that runs from Ringvägen in the west to Rosenlundsgatan in the east, widening into a larger open space near its middle. Its southern edge borders the housing of the Södra station area, and a walking and cycling path follows the old railway embankment beneath bridges and viaducts.

The site was once part of a railway line that connected Liljeholmen and Sodra stations from the 1860s until 1929. After the railway closed, the space was gradually transformed into a park for the surrounding neighborhood.

The bronze relief on the grey-stone retaining wall was designed by sculptor Big Britt Almström and mounted in 1995. It shows an older steam locomotive with the inscription "Ånghästen Stockholm, Stockholm–Saltskog, 1860–1862". The sign was initiated by SJ, Banverket and Tantofolket.

A walking and cycling path runs the length of the park along the old railway embankment, passing beneath bridges and viaducts. The park widens at its midpoint, and the high grey-stone retaining wall stands on the Maria Bangata side. The route is level and continuous from Ringvägen to Rosenlundsgatan.

The grey-stone retaining wall by Maria Bangata survives from the 1860s railway cutting. In 1995 a bronze relief by sculptor Big Britt Almström was mounted on it, showing a steam locomotive and the words "Ånghästen Stockholm, Stockholm–Saltskog, 1860–1862"; SJ, Banverket and Tantofolket initiated the plaque.
