Nordnes Park
The Nordnes Park (Norwegian: Nordnesparken) is a public park in the municipality of Bergen in Vestland county, Norway.[1] The park is located near the centre of the city of Bergen on the northwestern end of the Nordnes peninsula. It was established in 1888-1898 after an initiative from Edvard G. Johannessen in Det nyttige Selskab. The park covers about 32.7 decares (8.1 acres) of land.[2]
The Bergen Aquarium and the headquarters of the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research are both located next to the park.[3][4]
The city of Bergen and the city of Seattle are sister cities, and in 1970, Seattle sent a totem pole to Bergen to celebrate the city's 900th anniversary. The totem pole was erected in the Nordnes Park.[2][5]

[edit]Nordnes Sjøbad is situated in the park.[6] Nordnes Sjøbad is a heated saltwater swimming pool, just a short walk from the city centre. One can also take a refreshing dip in the sea. The facilities include indoor changing rooms and a sauna.[7]
