About
Quick facts: A 60-meter pedestrian bridge connects the two halves of this park, creating a continuous green corridor across the Ume River. More than 200 mature birch trees line the walkways, their white bark glowing during the long summer evenings.
Highlights: Every spring, the park transforms when thousands of tulips burst into bloom in carefully designed color patterns that change year to year. Local volunteers plant over 15,000 bulbs each autumn by hand, making each spring reveal a completely new floral artwork.
Insider tips
- Bring binoculars to spot beavers swimming near the riverbank at dusk.
- The east end of the park near the bridge offers the best photo composition with the river and city skyline.
- Visit on a weekday morning in June to have the tulip gardens nearly to yourself.
- Rent a kayak from the nearby Umeå Kanotcenter and paddle under the bridge for a different perspective.
