History of the Park
Following the construction of the railway, the area where the park now stands became prone to pools of stagnant water forming, leading to an unpleasant smell. It was decided to create a park as a solution to this problem, and in 1890 the city gardener Johan Christian Wolff presented a proposal for a promenade in the English-Romantic park style.
