Self-guided Sightseeing Tour #1 in Umeå, Sweden

Broparken in Umeå was established in 1897. The park is located on a southern slope down to the Promenade by the Ume River, next to the Old Bridge, and consists of a large grassy area with large old trees, including poplar and oak. Thanks to the seating – and after the renovation also the "food carts" – closest to Storgatan and the park's contact with the river, it is a popular place in the summer. In recent days, sportsmen have begun to use the park's sloping nature as a basis for rigging a small ski and snowboard slope during the winter months.
