About Palace Park
The Palace Park (Slottsparken) is a 22-hectare public park in the centre of Oslo surrounding the Royal Palace. It was laid out in the 1840s to a design by Hans Ditlev Franciscus Linstow, the main architect of the palace, and two thousand trees were planted in 1848. The park has since been redeveloped several times and has become simpler, with larger but fewer paths and fewer streams. The Queen's Park, a separate part of the Palace Park, dates back to 1751, when it was created as a private rococo garden.
