This is a beautiful park. On the south end is a section called Lördagsplan, which is a quiet,…read morescenic stretch of park that feels made for a slow walk or a mental reset. A tree-lined path runs alongside the water, giving it a calm vibe without trying too hard. It's peaceful, breezy, and very Malmö in that understated way. Perfect for a stroll, a pause, or just watching the water and pretending you're not on a schedule.

King Oscar's Park is gorgeous and its fantastic views are not to be missed if you're ever in Malmö!…read moreAfter getting off the train at Malmö C, I wandered the canal until I eventually landed myself here. The day itself was my favorite kind of day, a gentle rainy one that most would consider unpleasant or dreary. Not me. I purposely don't take summer vacations or vacations to hot places. My goal for the first part of my day was to visit the Malmö Museum (Museer in Swedish) and Castle (Malmöhus Slott), but I also made time to really explore the Kungsparken, or King's Park, as well. This was really an unavoidable thing anyway as I had planned to continue to follow the canal into town to meet my friend after work for dinner, shopping, and goofing off. I'm big on the free outdoors when I travel, you can tell. I enjoyed the little clusters of flowers most, but also the canopy of different tree species and the series of trails, bridges and passageways along the canal, which borders one end of the King's Park. Weeping Willows create shade and privacy. I found the park very romantic! The many benches along the trail would have been perfect for a rest, but alas in the rain that was not an option. It's an 8 plus acre park, and a complete circle would be great exercise. The route I took through altogether was 2 miles of walking. If you're headed to the castle fortress and museum anyway, you can't miss it. Note: The Yelp listing also says "Zoo," but if there is one in here I didn't find it...

This was a really cool open air market in the central part of the Triangeln neighborhood, close to…read moreFolkets Park. There were various booths set up with a number of foods, mostly fruits, veggies, and herbs. My friend who lives in the area says a lot of the vendors just give what they have left at the end of the day to needy people who can't afford to purchase the items. I thought that was a really good idea, and very progressive of them. This area was surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes. There were some benches to sit, and made for good people watching, as well as getting acclimated to the area.

Depending in weather, the square holds as many stands as they can squeeze in…read more Rumor has it a herbs-only stand appears in the summer, and a fish stands rolls in weekly. Offerings are raw; veggies, fruits, flowers. Prices are great and business is usually high, especially in Saturdays. Don't expect any ready made foods at this market, but rather run to some of the smaller falafel places around the square. Best coffee break after your shopping is the coffee bar without a name on the corner.

Pretty ok and just pretty…read more We spent a day in Malmo during a longer visit to Copenhagen. And the day before heading over to Sweden, we checked out to see what there was to do while in town. Google showed us Folkets Park, which was described as an amusement park. Now, we were there on a Monday and my understanding is that Mondays tend to be less busy and interesting. But I wasn't particularly amused while I was here. None of the little restaurants or stalls were open, neither was the mini golf. So there was just some people walking through as a short cut through the block. There were a couple spots that were colorful and lovely enough for a photo opportunity, but overall it was kind of disappointing. So...I got a really cute photo out of it, but other than that our visit was a bit of a let down. If there is a special event or concert going on, I am sure it is much more interesting.

I guess the place's cleaned up a little since the last reviewer. It's now super popular with…read moreparents and their children (at least now that it's summer), and there's a cool cafe smack in the middle of the place that's very laid back. There is, however, a group of drug dealers that likes to hang out around the park, as they do in many places around town.

I will always associate Pildammsparken with angry territorial geese since I was almost attacked by…read morethem during my first time ever in Malmö, but my rating has improved still after. Sure, the angry geese are still there - you better watch out for them - but this nice park is one of the best parks there in Malmö and when I say parks, I meant many since Malmö truly have a lot of nice parks for such a compact city (compared to Copenhagen). If you need "time out" after spending the day shopping and helping the Swedish economy, maybe you could have your fika as takeaway and head here on a nice summer / autumn day

I have only frequented this park in late summer so I couldn't see how nice it is in the high summer, but I could imagine lots and lots of people would come and just lie in the sun here. It's a very calm and serene park and lovely just to sit around, have a picnic or just beers, or even sit in the cafe that is very near to the pond. You can do your daily jog / run here as well. I love this park!

Unfortunately the doors are locked so visitors cannot view what's inside. Lastly, there's a large lake where you can stop to take in the fresh air, appreciate nature, and view all the surrounding sculptures.

This park is nicely compartmentalized so there are many quieter nooks and you can't hear much traffic even though it's right next to busy Strandvejen in the heart of Hellerup. It is also home to Øregård Museum and borders the Gentofte Library once you get tired of lounging on the grass. Nice to walk through, as we did after the annual Indonesian Cultural Bazaar.
