Evenemangsparken Södra Djurgården



Evenemangsparken Södra Djurgården consists of a number of present and future entertainment and meeting-places in Djurgården, Stockholm. In a land use from 2009 the Southern part of Djurgårdens west part has gotten the name "Evenemangsparken" (en: The events park). In a global comparison the Evenemangsparken is seen as a collected theme park and is the seventh largest in the world with approximately ten million visitors yearly.

Overview
The southern part of Djurgården was in the 1800s an unbuilt meadow that was called "Slätten" and later "Djurgårdsslätten". In the mid 1800s a park was built and a number of houses, such as an inn, bars and other building were comedians, musicians and theater could be. The area later became the city of Stockholms main entertainment area.

Since then many more attractions has been built there, such as the Vasa museum in 1990, Junibacken in 1996 and Spritmuseum in 2012 and the ABBA museum in 2013.

Future plans
In late 2009 the city council of Stockholm accepted plans to create Kungliga nationalstadsparken. As a step to improve the accessibility for walker and cyclists between the northern and southern parts of Djurgården a new walking and cycling bridge or overwalk will be built that will connect Evenemangparken and Museiparken. The bridge will be completed in 2016.
