Facts and practical information

Broparken in Umeå was built in 1897. The park is located on a south-facing slope down to the Strandpromenaden on the Ume River, next to the Old Bridge, and consists of a large grassy area with large old trees, including poplar and oak. Thanks to the seating areas - and after the rebuilding also "food carts" - near Storgatan and the park's contact with the river, it is a popular place in summer. In recent days, sports enthusiasts have started to use the park's sloping nature as a base for rigging a small ski and snowboard slope during the winter months.
