Pildammspark
Water tower (architect: Harald Boklund )
The Pildammspark , Swedish Pildammsparken , formerly also Baltiska parken , is Malmö's largest park.
The 45 hectare park surrounds a water reservoir from the 17th century. The willows (Swedish: Pil) were planted to fortify the banks of the dams. The park was initially designed for the Baltic Exhibition . A remnant of the exhibition is the royal pavilion, now called Margaretapavillon. The redesign to the park took place from 1920 according to plans by the city planner Anders Nilsson and the Danish garden architect Erik Erstad-Jørgensen , but heavily modified by Nilsson's successor Erik Bülow-Hübe .
