Tronholmparken
Sporty riverside lawns, sand courts and waterside paths where Randers meets the Gudenå and fjord, perfect for open-air workouts, casual games and relaxed strolls.
Wrapped by the waters of the Gudenå and Randers Fjord, Tronholmparken is Randers’ sporty riverside playground. This open, grassy park south of the city center blends beach courts, skate and parkour areas, outdoor fitness gear and casual lawns with wide views to Randers Regnskov and the bridge. Families, joggers and ball-game enthusiasts share the space with anglers drawn by the free fishing along the fjord, while a nearby street-food hall adds easy dining after an active day outdoors.

Local tips
- Bring a volleyball or football if you want to make full use of the beach area and open fields, as equipment is not routinely provided on-site.
- The park is very open and can feel windy along the fjord, so pack an extra layer outside high summer, even on sunny days.
- If you plan to fish, check current local regulations and remember basic leave-no-trace habits, especially regarding hooks and fishing line.
- Combine your visit with a meal at Randers Street Food just behind the park to turn a short workout or stroll into an easy half-day outing.

Riverside greenspace at the edge of Randers
Tronholmparken sits on a broad riverside tongue of land just south of Randers’ compact center, where the Gudenå runs out into Randers Fjord. This gives the park a spacious, almost island-like feel, surrounded by water, sky and the silhouettes of bridges and industrial buildings in the distance. The atmosphere is casual and sporty rather than manicured; wide lawns, simple paths and clusters of activity zones invite you to move, play or just sprawl in the grass. From the park you can look across to the domed glass structures of Randers Regnskov and watch traffic glide over Randers Bridge, while boats and kayaks slip silently along the river. It is a place where the city’s urban edges meet open water, making it a natural pause point if you are exploring Randers on foot or by bike.Beach courts, skate lines and outdoor workouts
The heart of Tronholmparken is its range of sports facilities. A large sand area acts as a flexible “urban beach”, set up primarily for beach volleyball and other ball games but also used for informal play and sunbathing on warm days. Nearby, skate and parkour elements add an urban edge, with rails, steps and structures that encourage creative movement for both beginners and experienced riders. Outdoor fitness equipment offers a free, open-air alternative to the gym, from pull-up bars and balance beams to full-body machines that rely on your own weight. These zones are spread out enough that they do not dominate the park; you can easily step away from the action and find a quieter corner if you prefer a slower pace or a simple picnic.By the fjord: fishing, strolling and watching the water
Along the water’s edge, Tronholmparken opens onto the fjord with views up and down the Gudenå’s final stretch. The shoreline paths are ideal for gentle walks, runs or bike rides, with benches and grassy banks where you can pause to watch the current and the changing light. Anglers are drawn here by the free fishing rights on parts of Randers Fjord, making the park a convenient base if you enjoy casting a line without heading far out of town. Birdlife is an ever-present backdrop, from gulls and ducks to the occasional heron. On blustery days the open setting can feel raw and invigorating, while calm summer evenings turn the water into a broad, reflective surface that catches the colors of the sky.Everyday recreation for all ages
Tronholmparken is designed as an everyday leisure space rather than a showpiece garden. You will find simple playground-style elements, open fields that double as informal football pitches and plenty of room for families to spread out blankets. The mostly flat terrain and paved sections make it accessible for prams and wheelchairs in dry weather, while the lack of dense planting means you always have a clear overview of the surroundings. A small public toilet and power outlets add practical convenience, and the proximity of Randers Street Food just behind the park makes it easy to combine an active visit with a relaxed meal or coffee break. On long summer afternoons the area naturally becomes a social hub, but even on cooler days there is usually enough space to find a quieter spot.Seasons, weather and when to go
Because Tronholmparken is so open, the experience changes dramatically with the weather. In bright conditions it is an ideal place for ball games, fitness sessions and sunlit walks by the water. Overcast or windy days emphasize the raw, maritime character of the fjord, which can be appealing if you enjoy moody skies, layered clothes and brisk exercise. The park is open at all hours and all times of year, though the sand courts and fitness gear are most comfortable from spring to early autumn. Early mornings tend to be quieter, with joggers and dog walkers making the most of the open space, while late afternoons and early evenings are livelier when school and work let out and the nearby food venues come to life.Part of a wider Randers waterfront
Tronholmparken is also a useful anchor point for exploring the wider waterfront. From here, paths and embankments continue along the river and fjord, linking to other green spaces and promenades. The views towards the city’s domes, bridges and river traffic underline how closely Randers is tied to its waterways, and spending time in the park offers a simple way to feel that connection without leaving the urban area. Whether you are stopping by for a quick workout, an impromptu game in the sand or a slow stroll by the water, Tronholmparken offers a flexible, unpretentious slice of outdoor life on the edge of Denmark’s longest river.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
