Established in 1932, Lindevangsparken is a green oasis here in Frederiksberg. This is the oldest municipal park. It spans 33,000 square meters. That makes it the largest in Frederiksberg.
Lindevangsparken is nestled in the Lindevang neighborhood. It sits between Peter Bangs Vej to the south and Finsensvej to the north. But Frederiksberg Park and Søndermarken are both larger. The state owns them.
Now, let’s step back in time. The Danish Conservation Authority protected Lindevangsparken in 1960. Fast forward to 2014 and 2015. Lindevangsparken underwent a Realdania-sponsored refurbishment. This included protecting the neighborhood from flooding during heavy rain. The renovated park was inaugurated on November 18, 2016. This was a significant upgrade.
But there is more to Lindevangsparken. The playground was refurbished in 2009. Then, in 2013, an electronically controlled water playground was added. The playground is a hit with kids and families.
Did you know that Lindevangsparken hosts “Jazz For Kids” during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival? Children and adults can enjoy live music here. It truly is a park for everyone.
Imagine the park before 1932. Before Lindevangsparken, this area was likely very different. The establishment of the park transformed the landscape. It provided a much-needed green space. It became a recreational area for the community.
