Folkpark

Entrance to Nykvarn folkpark in Stockholm County

In Sweden, a folkpark (also called Folkets park; approximately "people's park" in English) is a public recreation space, usually featuring large grassed areas, trees, children's play facilities, etc. Most towns and cities have a folkpark. These parks were originally created by the labour movement as places where political rallies could be held and where workers and their families could unwind.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> In larger folkparks, there is sometimes a bandstand or stage, and they are used for concerts and other entertainment. Summer folkpark tours are a traditional part of the touring circuit for bands, etc.<ref>Folkparker Template:Webarchive folkpark.nu. Retrieved: November 23, 2014.</ref>
