History
The park is situated at the site of the former Valby Fælled ("Common"), which was used as landfill between 1913 and 1937.[1] It was converted to a park between 1937 and 1939, and opened to the public on 1 September 1939.[1] Due to fuel shortages during World War II, much of the park was dug up in 1941–42 to search for coke, though the park was re-established and expanded during 1944–52.[1]
The park was officially designated as a protected area on 3 May 1966.[2]
In connection with Copenhagen being the 1996 European City of Culture, 17 circular themed gardens were established in the park.[4]
Development
After Valbyparken's opening in 1939, the second stage was completed in 1952 .
In 1965, the Rosenhaven was laid out, remodeled in 1999, which is designed as a 140 meter diameter circular garden surrounded by clipped rosebushes. The rose garden contains approximately 12,000 roses[5] from many different rosarians.
From 1966 onwards, Valby Park was given protected status. [1]
