Kungsparken - Malmö's oldest public park - was opened in 1872 by King Oscar II. It was designed as an English park and is planted with a great many exotic trees. A restaurant pavilion from 1912 still stands in the park and is now a casino. Slottsparken was laid out in the late 19th century next to Kungsparken. As Kungsparken had been designed as a walking park, Slottsparken was instead given large open spaces and lawns ideal for activities and picnics. The Pegasus statue in Slottsparken is the work of Carl Milles.
