Skansparken is located between the Krusenstiernska garden and Bastion S:t Erik. Skansparken has, among other things, parts of an older street, which today is used as a trail. There are also preserved moats that surrounded medieval Kalmar. The moat in Skansparken was previously a popular drinking place for horse-drawn carriages on the way to and from Kalmar.
The construction of the Kalmar rose garden (Rosenträdgården) started in 2021. It is the result of a collaboration with the Nordic rose societies. Here you can find several roses that represent the various Nordic countries, and Kalmar's own award-winning rose "Royal Estelle", produced by rose breeder Rosa Eskelund in Denmark. There is also a plantation for POM roses — cultivated plants that originate in Kalmar County.
In addition to the rose garden, there is an inspiring playground with exciting play equipment on a flower theme. Feel free to sit in the park and enjoy all the roses.
