The city park Fælledparken of Copenhagen is the most visited park in the capital and is utilized for a broad range of events, gatherings, and activities. The park has a lot to offer visitors, such as the biggest skatepark in Northern Europe, outdoor chess tables, sports facilities, a dance pavilion, and an iconic MONSTRUM playground.
The playground consists of five scaled-down versions of some of Copenhagen’s most famous towers: The City Hall Tower, the tower of Our Saviour’s Church, the Round Tower, the cupola of the Marble Church, and the tower of the Stock Exchange.
The playground won The Danish Design Award and "The Best of the City" award in 2012.
The Copenhagen Stock Exchange - Børsen - is famous for its tower, which is adorned with three dragons with their tails entwined.
Kids can cross the rope bridges from The Round Tower to the City Hall Tower. They can also climb the steel skyline to Our Saviour’s Church and play their own composition on the church bells.

The Round Tower is from the 17th century and is one of the most famous towers of Copenhagen.
The tower of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange is an icon of the city.
The cupola of the Marble Church is beautiful to play underneath with its design of wooden boards you can look between.
