Superkilen Park
A bold, linear park in Nørrebro where neon plazas, graphic asphalt and green lawns frame everyday life and global design objects from around the world.
Superkilen Park is a bold, linear urban park in Copenhagen’s multicultural Nørrebro district, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Topotek1 and Superflex as a playful celebration of global diversity. Open around the clock and free to enter, it unfolds in three distinct zones: the vivid Red Square for sport and social life, the graphic Black Market for lounging and games, and the leafy Green Park for picnics, playgrounds and cherry blossoms. Scattered throughout are dozens of everyday objects and artworks sourced from countries around the world, turning a neighborhood greenspace into a colorful open-air gallery of global culture.

Local tips
- Explore all three zones—Red Square, Black Market and Green Park—to appreciate how color and atmosphere shift along the park’s length.
- Visit in spring to see the Green Park’s cherry trees in blossom, creating a soft contrast to the Red Square’s vivid surfaces.
- Bring a skateboard, ball or board game; Superkilen is designed for active use as much as for photography and strolling.
- Look for small details such as inscriptions and plaques near global objects to understand which country or culture they reference.
- Evenings can be atmospheric with lighting across the park, but cooler months call for warm layers due to the open, windswept layout.

Getting There
-
Metro and short walk from central Copenhagen
From central Copenhagen, take the M3 Cityring metro to Nørrebro Station; trains usually run every few minutes and the ride takes about 10–15 minutes. A standard adult single ticket within the city zones typically costs around 20–30 DKK. From Nørrebro Station, walk roughly 10–15 minutes along main neighborhood streets to reach Superkilen’s Red Square area. The route is level and suitable for most visitors, with wide pavements and frequent street lighting.
-
City bus into Nørrebro
Several city bus lines run from the inner city toward Nørrebrogade, the main artery beside Superkilen, with journey times of about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Expect to pay roughly 20–30 DKK for a single adult fare within the city zones. Buses are low-floor and generally accessible, and stops along Nørrebrogade leave you within a few minutes’ walk of different parts of the park, making this a convenient option in wet or cold weather.
-
Cycling from the city center
Copenhagen’s extensive bike lanes make cycling to Superkilen straightforward. From the city center, most routes take 15–25 minutes at a comfortable pace, following continuous cycle paths that link directly into the park’s own bicycle corridor. You can use city bikes or private rentals, typically costing from about 75–150 DKK for a day depending on the provider. Surfaces are mostly flat, but allow extra time in rush hour when bike traffic is heavy.
-
Taxi or ride-hail within Copenhagen
A taxi from central Copenhagen to Superkilen generally takes 10–20 minutes, depending on traffic and starting point. Typical fares fall in the range of 120–220 DKK for the vehicle, with metered pricing and surcharges in late evening. This option is convenient if you are traveling with luggage, small children or have limited mobility, as taxis can drop you at the edges of the park along Nørrebrogade or adjacent side streets.

Discover more about Superkilen Park
A Color-Splashed Spine Through Multicultural Nørrebro
Superkilen Park cuts a striking stripe through the Nørrebro neighborhood, following the route of a former traffic artery that has been transformed into a generous public space. Conceived as both park and urban plaza, it threads between apartment blocks, side streets and bike lanes, acting as a kind of outdoor living room for one of Copenhagen’s most diverse districts. The project opened in 2012 with a clear ambition: to create a place that reflected, rather than concealed, the varied cultural roots of local residents. Instead of a conventional lawn and path layout, Superkilen leans into graphic surfaces, sculptural forms and bold color. Underfoot, asphalt becomes canvas; overhead, distinctive lamps and signs punctuate the skyline. Between them, people walk dogs, cycle home from work, kick footballs, and share takeaway coffee on benches borrowed from design traditions far beyond Denmark.The Red Square’s Neon Geometry and Urban Energy
At the southern end, the Red Square announces itself in electric pinks, oranges and reds that sweep across the ground in angular patterns. This is the park’s most extroverted zone, designed for movement and performance. Here you find open space for ball games and skating, fitness gear, and room for pop-up events, all ringed by seating and small eateries spilling out from nearby buildings. The intense color and sharp graphics give the area a distinctly contemporary feel, echoing street culture and graphic design as much as traditional park planning. Cyclists stream along the adjacent bike route, weaving the square into Copenhagen’s wider cycling network and ensuring a constant sense of motion and people-watching potential.The Black Market’s Curving Lines and Quiet Corners
In the middle stretch, the atmosphere shifts. The Black Market is a calmer, more contemplative plaza laid in dark asphalt, animated by white lines that curl and loop like a three-dimensional drawing. These stripes climb up benches, steps and small hills, blurring the boundary between furniture, artwork and landscape. Around a central fountain, clusters of tables and benches invite chess games, card matches or a simple conversation in the shade. The famous black octopus play sculpture rises here, its tentacles doubling as slides and climbing frames. Despite the graphic drama of the setting, this zone functions as a neighborhood square where older residents linger, teenagers gather and children dart between water, seating and play equipment.The Green Park’s Playful Hills and Spring Blossoms
The northern end of Superkilen softens into the Green Park, where lawns, mounds and trees dominate. Pathways curve around small hills, forming pockets for picnics, informal sports and quiet lounging on the grass. Playgrounds are tucked into this section, with equipment that feels both sculptural and inviting. Come spring, Japanese cherry trees erupt in pale pink blossom, briefly transforming the park into a delicate counterpoint to the saturated tones of the Red Square. In warmer months, the Green Park becomes an extended backyard for nearby residents, with barbecues, ball games and families spread across the grass while cyclists continue to pass along the main route.Global Artefacts and Stories in Everyday Objects
What truly defines Superkilen is its collection of objects sourced from dozens of countries, reflecting the many nationalities represented in Nørrebro. Benches from Brazil, a fountain from Morocco, swings inspired by designs from Iraq, a neon sign referencing East Asian salons, and a host of other items embed global narratives into the daily routines of park users. These pieces are not displayed behind glass or on plinths; they are sat on, climbed over, leaned against and used as part of everyday life. Together they create a kind of open-air world exposition, where a short stroll along the park’s length becomes a journey through different design traditions, all woven into a single cohesive landscape.Architecture, Art and Community Woven Together
Superkilen is also a statement about how contemporary design can serve social aims. The collaboration between architecture, landscape and conceptual art practices produced a space that is both visually experimental and highly functional. The linear layout links courtyards, playgrounds and sports facilities, while generous lighting and open sightlines help the park feel welcoming at many times of day. For visitors, walking Superkilen offers a compact introduction to Copenhagen’s reputation for design innovation and its evolving, multicultural identity. For locals, it is a practical everyday park that happens to double as a large-scale artwork, proving that ambitious architecture can still leave plenty of room for a kickabout, a quiet chat or a long, meandering bike ride home.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
