Björns trädgård

Björns trädgård.

Björns trädgård ("Björn's Garden"), is a small public park in Södermalm in Stockholm, named after Carl Gustaf Björn, a gardener. His son, Carl Fredrik Björn, known as "Rike Björn" ("Rich Björn"), inherited the garden in the 1880s, and donated the garden to the city in his will upon his death in 1915. The will explicitly said that the park should be a green place for the citizens of Stockholm, and contain a playground for children.

The park is located by the major street Götgatan, opposite Medborgarplatsen. The park was given a major facelift in 2004 and now contains a skateboard ramp. The Stockholm Mosque is located on a hill by the park.
