Torshovparken

Torshovparken extends across 95,000 square meters of landscaped grounds, featuring walking paths, open spaces, and a music pavilion at its highest point.

The park was established in the 1920s as part of Torshovbyen residential development, with the municipality purchasing the land in 1916 for urban expansion.

Three notable sculptures grace the park grounds, including a bust of Fernanda Nissen, a children's sculpture by Sigri Welhaven, and a bust of composer Jolly Kramer-Johansen.

The northern section contains a pond and playground, while the southern and eastern slopes provide spaces for winter activities like sledding and skiing.

During World War II, the park transformed into food production plots, with sections allocated as private allotments from 1942 onward.
