The park occupies the grounds of Malmö-Bulltofta Airport, which served as the city's primary international airport from 1923 until 1972.
Many of the park’s hills were constructed using surplus soil and rubble, providing vantage points that overlook the flat Scanian landscape.
The park contains a specific area designated for off-leash dog activity, which is a popular local feature.
Remnants of the former airfield infrastructure are still subtly integrated into the park’s layout and path design.
It connects to the larger 'Bulltoftafältet' recreational area, extending the available green space significantly beyond the core park boundaries.
Bulltofta Park is a 115-hectare recreational area situated on the site of a former airport that operated until the 1970s. The landscape is characterized by wide-open meadows, preserved forest sections, and elevated hills created from construction fill, offering panoramic views of Malmö. It features an extensive network of walking and jogging paths that extend toward the city’s outer districts. Facilities include designated dog exercise areas, outdoor fitness equipment, and multiple playgrounds. The park’s undulating terrain is a direct result of the reclaimed landscape following the airport's decommissioning. It serves as a major green lung for eastern Malmö, connecting to adjacent nature reserves.

Do not attempt to walk through tall grass in the designated wildflower meadow sections to protect local biodiversity.
Keep dogs on a leash outside of designated areas, follow 'Right of Public Access' (Allemansrätten) principles, and remove all waste.
