Getting There
-
Public Transport
From the transport hub or main station in central South Zealand, trains and regional buses head directly to Køge. Upon arrival at Køge Station, Solgårdsparken lies to the south of the town center—a broad, tree-filled space along the river, easily reached via a relaxed 15–20 minute walk or by renting a city bike. Local buses also run toward the park area and adjoining neighborhoods (single fares average 24–30 DKK). Well-marked signs and glimpses of open lawns help you know you’re getting close.
-
Taxi
A taxi from central Køge or the train station to Solgårdsparken takes around 5–10 minutes and typically costs 80–110 DKK one way, depending on traffic and time of day. Taxis can drop you at any of the main entrances or parking areas bordering the park, making access easy for families or those with limited mobility.
-
Driving
Those arriving by car will find signed parking spaces near the park’s perimeter. Parking is generally free or governed by municipal rules—expect time restrictions in peak hours or near events. As the park is adjacent to main routes into Køge, entry is straightforward, but spaces can fill quickly on weekends or during festivals.
-
Cycling / Walking
Solgårdsparken is well connected to the local network of walking and cycling trails linking central Køge and the outlying residential areas. From the heart of town, cyclists and walkers follow a green corridor leading naturally towards the open vistas and woodland edges of the park—expect a peaceful 10–20 minute journey with scenic river views.
