Nelly Sachs park, Public park in western Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden.
Nelly Sachs Park is a green space in Kungsholmen featuring rolling hills, playgrounds, seating areas, and walking paths laid out on a former residential development site. The space includes several zones near Nordenflychtsvägen, each designed for different kinds of outdoor activities.
The park was created between 2008 and 2011 on land that was originally planned as a villa community in the 1880s. The site later housed industrial buildings before being transformed into a public green space.
The park bears the name of German-Swedish Nobel Prize winner Nelly Sachs, reflecting the neighborhood's literary heritage. Street names throughout the area honor Nobel laureates, emphasizing the importance of literature and intellectual achievement in this community.
Two preschools operate within the park, and nearby you can find additional recreational areas at Hornsbergs Strand and Karlbergskanalen. The best way to explore is on foot, following the paths available throughout the space.
The park represents one of Stockholm's urban renewal projects that converted the Hornsbergs Strand district from industrial use to residential and recreational space. This transformation demonstrates how contemporary planning can revitalize former industrial sites into active public areas.
