Ivar Los park

Ivar Los park, Public park on Mariaberget hill, Stockholm, Sweden.

Ivar Los Park sits on Mariaberget's northern edge with open lawns, benches, and views of Riddarfjärden bay and Stockholm's waterfront. The space is connected by walking paths and offers several spots to stop and look out over the water.

Two 18th-century houses stood on this lot until they were demolished in the 1930s, leaving an open space where a playground called Mariatäppan was later built. In 1990 the site was renamed Ivar Los park after a proposal by culture councillor Per Sundgren, and Gunnar Sträng led the inauguration ceremony. The name honours writer Ivar Lo-Johansson, who lived at Bastugatan 21 across the street from 1934 until his death in 1990.

The park's name comes from a proposal by culture councillor Per Sundgren, and it was inaugurated in 1990 by former finance minister Gunnar Sträng, who shared Ivar Lo-Johansson's working-class background. The writer had lived at Bastugatan 21, across the street, from 1934 until his death in 1990; the house became the Ivar Lo Museum in 1991.

The park entrance at Bastugatan 26 provides easy access to several walking routes in different directions. Open areas and paths are usable year-round, with plenty of seating spots to rest and take in the views.

The bust of Ivar Lo-Johansson in the park was made by sculptor Nils Möllerberg in 1949, but it was only placed here in 1991, when the playground Mariatäppan was renamed Ivar Los park. The renaming followed a proposal by culture commissioner Per Sundgren, and the ceremony in 1990 was led by former finance minister Gunnar Sträng, who shared the writer's working-class background.
