For most, visiting a public park won’t be the prime attraction on their itinerary. Yet, these urban oases of green are likely a much-needed rest stop after a long week of adventuring up and down the Swedish slopes. The Carl Johans Park situated ideally on the way to the public train stations invites visitors with just that allure. Carl Johans looks over with pride, frozen in copper on a pedestal of granite, as hundreds mill past his feet each year. This is a space for quiet walks and idyllic gazing as the world turns on without you. No matter what happens, it seems as if the golden statues of dolphins will continue to release spouts of water in murmurs as the bent trees rustle in unison. A message of love to the people is left in the form of beautiful flower arrangements by the park benches. Since its beginnings in 1887, Carl Johans park has never failed to add a touch of delicate grace to the streets of Norrköping.
