Last Tuesday the Board of parks and nature in Gothenburg (park- och naturnämnden) decided on the budget for 2012. Among other news there will be no entrance fee for the 19th century park of Trädgårdsföreningen during all next year. Traditionally the park always had a fee, it was originally founded by some wealthy people of Gothenburg who wanted a nice backdrop for their sunday walks. As I recall the fee was really low the years before the exhibition called Göteborgs Lustgårdar in 2008, that year people were in shock that they suddenly had to pay quite a lot to visit the delicately renovated and renewed park. After that it has been something in between and thus next year: free!
