Enskede, Stockholm (2)

I visited Enskede recently in the company of my former PhD student Ann Maudsley and her partner Jakob Weinert, and my current PhD student/colleague Victoria Kolankiewicz. We took in quite a few internal reserves there, perhaps not all those on the plan but a significant sample. They were well-used (it was a Saturday, the weather fairly mild) and very varied in form and style. This one is a playground, obviously popular with at least a small coterie of local children. The low fences of the surrounding properties is very interesting too. (* I promise to one day figure out a way to rotate the images which are presently sideways)

Jakob explained the above sign indicates that the space is owned and operated by local government.

Kvitterkroken is the name of the path that runs through this space and may also be the name of the space, it's hard to be sure.

Sorry this one's a bit blurry but blurry like nostalgia, right? 

Road frontage for some houses with rear public open space. You can see why these residents would concentrate more on what's going on behind their houses - ! 

Note this little glasshouse is a kind of historical museum of the internal reserve space it's placed in, with historical photographs on display.
