Parks and Open Spaces in Oslo

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Parks and open spaces are an integral part of the landscape of Oslo, the capital and largest city of Norway. The various parks and open spaces are interconnected by paths so the city's inhabitants can walk between them.As the city expanded in the middle of the nineteenth century, areas were appropriated for parks and recreational purposes. The eastern part of the city (Østkanten) was prioritized due to congestion and industrialization. The residential and more affluent western parts of the city (Majorstuen, Frogner) have comparably fewer parks and open spaces. 95% of the city's inhabitants have a park or an open green space within 300 meters of their home.
