Grønlands park – Botsparken, Municipal park next to Oslo Prison, Norway.

Grønlands park spans 27.5 decares of land, featuring a large lawn with trees at its edges and a linden alley near Oslo Prison and Police Headquarters.

The park was established between 1844 and 1851 alongside Botsfengselet prison construction, with gardens and fields where inmates worked behind wooden fences.

The linden alley received the name Egon Olsens allé in 2017, referencing a character from Norwegian cinema's Olsenbanden film series.

The park maintenance falls under the responsibility of both the Gamle Oslo district administration and Statsbygg, ensuring regular upkeep of the grounds.

The park area has decreased over time due to the construction of the police headquarters in 1978 and central arrest facilities between 2006 and 2007.
