Folkets Funfair

From the beginning, the management had envisaged Folkets Park as a place with swings and carousels. There were more grown-up attractions in its early years, like test-your-strength games and shooting ranges, but only when the park expanded northwards was there enough space for a bone fide funfair. It arrived in 1926, with a funicular railway, ferris wheels, dodgems, and carousels. In a publication marking the park s 40th anniversary, one of its pioneering administrators, Nils Petter Hansson, said that the only facility in the world that matched Folkets Park was Coney Island in New York. There have been many rides in the park over the years, but in 2014 the management chose to stop renting out areas as amusement parks. Foto: Ur Jeanette Rosengrens samling
