Discover Segeltorp: Parks, History and Ice Skating
Accommodation in Segeltorp
When planning a stay in Segeltorp, it is useful to distinguish between several interests: play areas, places to sit and picnic, local history, and winter ice skating. Palissadparken and Kråkparken offer different options for planning your day, alongside historical connections to water mains and road links. If you are considering Segeltorp as a destination, these themes can shape the focus of your activities.
Playgrounds, Seating Areas and Nature
Palissadparken is a terraced playground sheltered on a wooded slope. The park includes a small bamboo grove, and wooden sculptures depict a bear, a fox and a beaver. The play equipment includes a slide, a sandbox with play sand, balance features, a seesaw, a hammock, a swing and a playhouse. The combination of the sloping site, bamboo and animal figures gives the playground a distinctive design. If you want to include specific play opportunities in your plans, you will find a variety of features here. Palissadparken is partially accessible and has paved walking and cycling paths.
Kråkparken has a different focus: by the lake, there are benches and picnic tables, a barbecue area and several seating areas. This park is also partially accessible. It is easy to reach both from the nearby road and from the footpath along Långsjön. You can therefore choose between the two parks according to the activities you have in mind: Palissadparken focuses on play equipment, while Kråkparken offers places to sit, picnic and barbecue.
The Gömmaren Nature Reserve borders Segeltorp to the south. Alongside the landscaped parks, this named nature reserve is another point of reference in the area around the locality.
Water Mains and Historic Connections
The waterworks cottage in Segeltorp housed the worker who monitored the underground water mains between Norsborg and Stockholm. The large-diameter mains were laid underground in Segeltorp in 1903; they were intended to carry water from Norsborg to Stockholm. Together, these details offer insight into two aspects of the same infrastructure history: a worker monitoring the mains and the planned transport of water between the places named.
Another historical point of reference is Gamla Södertäljevägen. Before the E4 motorway was built in the 1960s, this road connected Stockholm and Södertälje. The road link and the water mains served different purposes and destinations: one connected the two cities, while the other was intended to carry water from Norsborg to Stockholm.
Winter Ice Skating
Långsjön lies east of Segeltorp. There is a 1.6-kilometre ice-skating loop there. At Segeltorpshallen, public skating sessions are available. For winter planning, there are two specific details to consider: the length of the loop on the lake and the public skating times at the indoor rink. Check the seasonal times separately before visiting. This will help you decide which of the two skating options best suits the focus of your winter day.
