Individual Sights in SolnaSight 1: Solparken
Solparken is a small park on Råsundavägen in central Råsunda in Solna, just north of Stockholm. The park is surrounded by large rental properties from the early 1900s of great cultural-historical value. The park was part of the new district that began construction around 1910. A reconstruction of the park took place in 2005 when a new open water system was built, the purpose is to delay and purify the stormwater from Råsundavägen before it flows further down towards Råstasjön. The water system takes the form of a stone-paved stream that flows down to a pond. The redevelopment was adapted to the old park, which is dominated by tall spruce trees that today have grown taller than the surrounding residential buildings.
