Everything about Nyg Rdsparken totally explained
Nygårdsparken is a public
park located in the city centre of
Bergen,
Norway, between the neighbourhoods of Nygård and Møhlenpris. At 74,2
decare, Nygårdsparken is the largest
urban park in Bergen.
History
Nygårdsparken was conceived by the physicians Joachim Georg Wiesener and Klaus Hanssen, who formed founded the Park Association of Nygaard (
Nygaards Parkselskab) in 1880. A typical
English park, it was laid out by the
Danish gardener S. Lund Leiberg.
Today
Following the municipality expansions in 1972, the population in the city centre decreased dramatically. While Nygårdsparken had earlier been within short walking distance of 30-40,000 people, this was no longer the case. As a result, the interest in the park fell, leading to a lack of maintenance. Eventually,
drug addicts, lacking better places to stay, began using the park for their purposes. Nygårdsparken evolved into the main drug area in Bergen, with sale of
heroine,
cannabis and other drugs taking place all day and night. The police has been criticised both for not paying attention to the amount of
drug abuse taking place in the park, and for not taking action against
drug dealers or the drug addicts themselves.
As part of a plan to increase the
kindergarten capacity in Bergen, the municipality decided in 2007 to build seven temporary kindergartens in Bergen, including one in Nygårdsparken, with a total capacity of 550 children. Due to protests from locals, mostly concerning the unaesthetic appearance of the kindergarten and it being constructed too close to existing buildings, the construction has been halted several times, but is likely to finish in early 2008.
