Evenemangsparken Södra Djurgården consists of a number of present and future entertainment and meeting-places in Djurgården, Stockholm. In a land use from 2009 the Southern part of Djurgårdens west part has gotten the name "Evenemangsparken" (en: The events park). In a global comparison the Evenemangsparken is seen as a collected theme park and is the seventh largest in the world with approximately ten million visitors yearly.[1]
Overview
The southern part of Djurgården was in the 1800s an unbuilt meadow that was called "Slätten" and later "Djurgårdsslätten". In the mid 1800s a park was built and a number of houses, such as an inn, bars and other building were comedians, musicians and theater could be. The area later became the city of Stockholms main entertainment area.[2]
Since then many more attractions has been built there, such as the Vasa museum in 1990, Junibacken in 1996 and Spritmuseum in 2012 and the ABBA museum in 2013.[1]

In late 2009 the city council of Stockholm accepted plans to create Kungliga nationalstadsparken. As a step to improve the accessibility for walker and cyclists between the northern and southern parts of Djurgården a new walking and cycling bridge or overwalk will be built that will connect Evenemangparken and Museiparken. The bridge will be completed in 2016.[3]
