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.
