It was open to the public back in 1847 by King Oscar I, two years before the royal palace was completed. It's been open to the public year round ever since. The park is over 50 acres with the massive palace dominating the center of the park. Since the palace is on a hill it has some nice views of the surrounding area. The rest of the park has walking paths, statues and lots of trees and flowers. Most of the trees were planted back when the park was new and are huge and lovely. The park today is more open than it was in the past and has less trees and green areas, probably because there are far more people using the park today. The park is fascinating not only because of the cool statues, trees, greenery and royal guards, but because you can get right up to the royal palace.
