Triangelparken is a park on KTH's campus on Stockholm Royal Seaport. The park is triangular in shape and is bounded by Brinellvägen to the east, Drottning Kristina's road to the southwest and the Land Surveying Department's building to the north. It is not only the shape of the park that has given it its name, but also that the triangle is a symbol of surveying. The park is crossed by a walkway that runs from Teknikringen and continues north of the Swedish Defence University on the other side of Drottning Kristinas väg. In 2013, Triangelparken was renovated under the leadership of the Tengbom Group. After the renovation, the walkway has been paved and the park has been given concrete benches shaped like an amphitheatre on the slope down to Brinellvägen. In the western corner of the park is a collection of steel tables with stainless steel house models.
