Kungsparken, Gothenburg
Kungsparken (Swedish for King's park), originally Kungsportsparken, is a 13-hectare park behind Stora Teatern in Gothenburg, which encloses most of Nya Allén walkway, and constitutes a so-called park district. Kungsparken was built in several stages between 1839 and 1861.
In the 1940s and 1950s, the park was a meeting place for the city's homosexual men.
