Rabalder Parken - skating and play in Roskilde
In the heart of Musicon in Roskilde, west of Copenhagen, lies Rabalder Park - an award-winning urban park that blends play, recreation, and climate adaptation. Designed as a rainwater management system, the park also serves as a creative urban space for both children and adults.
The park offers everything from trampolines, swings and hammocks to outdoor fitness equipment and barbecue areas. A large basin and an architect-designed water staircase channel rainwater through the park while also creating an inviting setting for relaxation and spending time together.
Things to do
You can skate in the rainwater channels that wind their way through the park or simply relax in the hammocks by the lake. There is also plenty of space for picnics and ball games on the grassy areas, while the hills provide views and shelter from the wind. Whatever the season, there is always something to do.
Architecture and awards
Roskilde Municipality received the Danish Urban Planning Award for Rabalder Parken together with the overall Musicon strategy. The park’s channels and basins hold rainwater back until there is capacity in the sewer system. When not filled with water, they provide space for skating and spending time outdoors.
