Discover more about Superkilen Park

Superkilen Park is not just a park—it’s a global statement set in the heart of Nørrebro, one of Copenhagen’s most multicultural and energetic boroughs. Spanning almost a kilometer and divided into three boldly themed zones (the Red Square, the Black Market, and the Green Park), Superkilen is a visual and social feast, designed to bring the world to the heart of Copenhagen. Here, more than 100 unique objects—ranging from Moroccan fountains to Russian neon signs, and even an octopus-shaped climbing structure—dot the landscape, each one a gift or a nod to the multitude of nationalities that call Nørrebro home. The park’s signature red, black, and green surfaces are more than simply aesthetic choices, serving to separate and define social spaces while guiding the flow of visitors through a patchwork of experiences. Superkilen was conceived by the renowned artist collective Superflex, alongside architects BIG and landscape architects Topotek1, as part of an urban renewal project to celebrate openness, inclusion, and community. Beyond its striking visuals, Superkilen is woven into daily life. Locals gather to play chess on oversized boards, families picnic by Ukrainian swings, fitness fans take advantage of outdoor gym equipment, and skaters and cyclists trace the bold lines that wind through the space. The park hums with activity year-round and provides an ever-changing display of street art, cultural exchange, and grassroots gatherings. Its success lies in its ability to be more than a stage for Instagram moments: Superkilen is a lived-in, well-used urban space, open to all and reflective of Nørrebro’s complex, global identity. Practical visitors will find the park accessible day and night, always free to enter, and easily reached by public transport or on foot from Nørrebro’s vibrant central strips. Whether you come to people-watch, take a photo beneath the neon palm tree, or simply soak up the spirit of modern Copenhagen, Superkilen delivers a one-of-a-kind urban adventure in the Danish capital.
