This is a great spot for ice skating in the winter! It's HUGE and not crowded at all. Very few…read morechildren. You can do laps on the outside ring or mess around and practice on the inner field. There's a changing room with showers and bathroom inside the main building as well. It's supposedly open till 23:00! Really recommend it for skating if you live nearby.

If there is a single factor that most makes me want to move to Sweden, it's this playground…read more(followed closely by the country's largely non-xenophobic culture). The space is gorgeous, clean, happy, fun and free. Kids and be kids, run wild, climb on not-entirely-safe objects and structures, engage in not-entirely safe carpentry and the like, jump, yell, enjoy. There is a staffed indoor play area with foosball and other activities, there's hockey equipment... I bet in the winter, the sledding is amazing, here. We were floored. Please please please bring something like this to the US, my compatriots. I didn't check out the toilet situation, but there are numerous cute cafes and restaurants all around the park, a friendly, (I think) well-priced ICA grocery store, Espresso House (Starbucks- / Dunkin' Donuts-like in its ubiquity), and an excellent independent bakery just south of the park on the eastern side.

We visited the playground area with our 10 month old, our friend, and her 3 year old. It is unlike…read moreanything I have ever seen in the US! Rock climbing wall, swings, ropes course, sandboxes, trampolines, skating, fields, gardens, museum, cafe... I mean, you really have everything right here, for all ages. We came on a beautiful day, but there is apparently even an indoor play area for the winter. Very impressed, and bummed we found it on one of our last days of our visit.

Wonderful, friendly staff that make this frigid hangout almost feel warm!read more

What a nice little playground in the middle of the city. My daughter walked around and around and…read morefound all the little corners of the playground. Loved walking over the bridge (and of course under) watch out tho, we noticed that it does get a little slippery with the gravel on it. We were suppose to buy an ice cream but when we came up to the cafe no one was there. Then my kids started fighting so we left. haha. If you find yourself on the south side with kids then try this nice playground. I can't say much about the history because I didn't have time to read the sign. Next time tho, cause I'm sure it'll be a next time.

This is beautiful park in the heart of the city. Loads of space to have lunch on the grass or on…read moreone of the many benches scattered around. Great for people watching, dog admiring or sun worshiping! The park also has a restaurant called debaser, a library, skate ramp, playground and sport courts. I like how it can be accessed any time of the day. Many parks have big gates to keep people out at after a certain time but this park is well lit at night.(However always be careful if walking alone at night in any sheltered area) I love it!! I give it full stars!

It's a park, it's a very very nice park. Maybe we caught it on a bad day .. what was that smell?…read moreThe entire park smelled like garbage and dog poop. I thought maybe it was some trees or bushes. Still a mystery. But overlooking the smell it is a really nice park and it's right in the city. On sunny days it's nice to sit here and relax ... that was before kids. They have a great playyard with swings and whatnot, great for kids. I'd spend more time here if I lived closer .. and if it didn't smell. Maybe next time I'll just rub some vicks under my nose and the problem is solved.

Free toys for all kids, great areas for all ages, and coffee and snacks for parents. What else…read morecould anyone want? We've spent hours here with our toddler and none of us are bored!
