Folkets Park in Möllevången, a district of Malmö the capital of Scania, in Øresund, Sweden.

Folkets Park is a six-acre recreational park. There is live music at an open-air concert stage, fairground rides, animal exhibits, a wading pool for families and shded lawns to picnic on.

The park was opened in 1891 but by the early 1990s the area was considered a slum. It underwent extensive renovations over the following decades to become one of the most popular parks in the city today.

Möllevången is a comparatively young district. In the early 20th century designed on the drawing boards of the city planners to provide housing for the numerous industrial workers. The district was almost self-sufficient from the beginning, a sort of city within the city. With own shops, pubs and the market square, supplied by the farmers from the surrounding countryside.

Workers history was written in Möllevången and you can find important roots of the Swedish labor movement in this district. In the past, Möllevången witnessed demonstrations and violent clashes. Axel Ebbes monument Arbetets ära (Honor of work) on the Möllevångstorg is just as significant for this location like the Folkets Park on the other side of the district. Like all these parks in Sweden it also owes its origin to the labor movement and the Folkets park in Malmö was the first of its kind in Sweden.
