The foundations of today's Hågelby Park were laid by Lars Magnus Ericsson and his wife Hilda in 1911–1922, and in 1975 the park became a public park open to everyone. Public holidays are celebrated here, and there are festivals, dance-band evenings, children's theatre, exhibitions, markets and car boot sales – what is on is in the park's calendar.

    Hågelby 4H farm

    Hågelby 4H farm (Hågelby 4H-gård) is a small farm close to the city with horses, sheep, goats, mini pigs, hens, rabbits, cats and other small animals, run by a non-profit 4H club. The animals are out in the paddocks every day, according to the farm about 09:00–16:00 in spring and summer and 09:00–15:00 in autumn and winter; when it is rainy or cold some stay inside. In July most of the animals are away on summer grazing – the pigs, hens and rabbits stay. Feeding the animals is not allowed. Current information is on 4H's page for Hågelby.

Bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other small creatures live in the bug garden (Småkrypens trädgård), and in summer there is children's theatre in the park.

Barbecues, toilets and practical information

You may only barbecue at the park's two fixed barbecue spots – next to the playground and next to the riding arena and the boules court – never on the lawns. Bring your own charcoal or briquettes; firewood is not allowed. Put the fire out properly after you and respect any fire bans. Bringing alcohol into the park is not allowed.

Drinking water is available at the water point next to the dance floor, which is turned off in winter, and in the toilets at the café. In the park you pay by card or Swish – cash is not accepted.
