Solgårdsparken is a historic park in Køge that centers around the 18th-century Solgården manor house. The grounds feature a blend of formal garden architecture and mature, expansive woodland areas. It serves as a significant recreational green space located just south of the town center. Visitors can explore a network of gravel paths that weave through open lawns and under dense tree canopies. The park is characterized by its hilly terrain, which is uncommon for the surrounding coastal landscape. It functions as a local community hub, frequently hosting public outdoor events and seasonal activities. The site maintains a connection to its original manor estate layout, preserving remnants of historic landscape design.
