Kungsparken

Historic central park, connecting to the smaller Slottsträdgården park and Malmöhus Castle to the north. The park was constructed around 1870, on former castle grounds. It is named after the Swedish King Oscar II who inaugurated a park restaurant here in 1881. Kungsparken was designed by the Danish landscape architect Ove Høegh Hansen, inspired by the English garden culture.
