My relatives and parents wanted to take a stroll in a small public park. My cousin mentioned that…read moresvartdalsparken is very scenic and beautiful. We went through a small path that lead us to the entrance. There were picnic tables and lots of kids/families in the area. Once we went through the front, starts a small trail which is scenic. You might want to wear tennis shoes-you are entering a hiking trail that is not paved. There are small ponds you will pass. I believe at 1.5 miles you cross this bridge with a beautiful waterfall and an old abandoned building, which is worth the hike.

Both trams have stops along the way of the park. Stunning views of the fjords and the city up here. Breathtaking. The park itself has cool statues (true to Oslo statue style) and lots of old tall trees to provide shade. There is a small gift shop, cafe and wash closets on site which were all well maintained. Score. Not a #1 must see activity, but definitely worth a stop if you have time. Even if just for a few pictures of the fjords or a quick walk around the park.
