The Eskils Park

Eskils Park

A big open, very green (in the summer that is) park in central Handen. 70 years ago this was a sandpit. The landscape architect who designed the park was Sture Koinberg. This is the perfect place for a picnic, some crocket, sunbathing, take your pick. I often stop here and read the newspaper. Did I mention that the Haninge Cheer Elite often practice here?

Amfitheatre

This part of the park opened in 1996. The artist was PYE Engström. The name works better in swedish as Handen as well as the city of Handen also means hands. The artwork was made by Granite.If you walk, the big mall is a few minutes away from here, and Lake Rudan is another 10 minutes away.

The Olof Palme Place

The Olof Palme Place at the park. Named of course after the murdered prime minister. Ormteatern and a few other local theatre groups often performs at the amphitheatre.
