Skövde responds to the big city row: Stockholmers are warmly welcome to our fairground - free of noise and full of exciting attractions and quality of life.

The debate on noise levels from amusement parks has led city dwellers and politicians to question where the line between a vibrant city and noise lies. In the midst of the debate, Skövde was highlighted, becoming a symbol of something completely different. We take it as a compliment. Quieter and more harmonious - full of quality of life and exciting opportunities. As a contribution to the amusement park debate, we take the opportunity to present our version of an amusement park - we call it, somewhat symbolically, Gröna Skövde.  

Gröna Skövde is the amusement park for those who appreciate the attractions of nature, a cozy city center and the combination of tranquility and pulse. Here, the soundscape consists of the buzz of an outdoor restaurant, the wind in the cornfields on the Västgöta plain or the rattle of bicycle tires against a forest path.

- It was unexpected that Skövde would get a place in Stockholm's amusement park row. We take it as a compliment - and take the opportunity to contribute to the discussion by telling us about the kind of amusement park that Skövde offers. Let's call it Green Skövde - with attractions that are great to live right next to," says Malin Sandegren, location marketer at Skövde municipality.

We welcome city dwellers to experience other types of attractions. At the Gröna Skövde amusement park you will find:

🌳Treetop railway

A hiking trail where the canopy of trees forms a lush tunnel and the soundscape consists of birds chirping, rather than the sound of carousels. Read more about hiking in Skövde.
