Alundalej is inspired by the croft on the hill, where the Runeberg Lodge and the Alunda folk dance team once gathered people for music, theatre and fellowship. In the design, we wanted to link the forest, the croft and the playground - a place that will be developed together with the residents and that invites both play and stories.
Several parts of the playground are inspired by the local folk tradition, with elements from fairy tales, folk songs, personalities and costumes that have characterised the area.
Two speaking tubes dressed in a beaked watch pattern in the play village celebrate Rune Selén, who grew up in Foghammar, Alunda. In 1959, Selén began a fifty-year pioneering career in the manufacture of traditional handkerchiefs. He produced more than 11,000 numbered lurs with the signature S., with the proceeds going to church activities. In 2005, Rune Selén's cultural fund was established to manage and pass on old Nordic folk music traditions such as näverlurar, kulning and vallmusik. In the same year, an official tribute concert was organised in his honour at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.
An arched bridge is reminiscent of the folk tale of the Three Billy Goats.
One of the houses in the play village is reminiscent of the beaver house in Elsa Beskow's classic Hattstugan.
In the rubber mat under the large playpen notes are visible as a nod to the musical history of the place.
Rosa's path which starts at the edge of the forest, is a short audio walk suitable for pre-school children accompanied by adults. ”Rosa is a moose who loves to dance. She wants to invite the Boy for a swing but can't find him anywhere. He has blue eyes, red cheeks and is as furry as a troll. Will you help her find him?”. A mobile phone is needed to scan the QR codes that lead to the audio tracks. The audio walk is inspired by Alundavisan and is developed by artists HildeMarie Farstad Broady and Sofia Hildebrandt, inviting children and adults to discover stories and nature together.
Accessible, safe and a place to meet for all ages
The playground will be lit throughout the park
New surface provides better accessibility.
A new fence will increase security on the road.
Plenty of seating, a barbecue area and an accessible toilet create the conditions for socialising and staying in the playground for longer.
Rope course and boules court, more activities for different ages. By expanding the activities, we hope that the park will attract movement for many different ages.

"In the bosom of Roslagen on the flowering island, where the waves lapping against the shore, and the reeds waving and freshly cut hay, it smells against me sometimes, there I sit on a bench in the bersong and watch terns and seagulls"
