The Lende park
0
This beautiful little oasis is called Lende park, established in honor of the local character, life artist, and friend of humanity, Lars Lende. He was best known for his work with children and youth. "Everything for the children" was his motto. Lende was also known as a colorful social critic. During the interwar period, Lende fought to provide unemployed youth with practical vocational training and the opportunity for stable employment. He built a mechanical workshop and trained young people. In the park, you will find a playground and several statues. One statue depicts Lende with a pony and cart with the inscription "Everything for the children." Another statue features a top hat, parrot, anvil, saxophone, and monkey. These were items significant to Lende, affectionately known as "Lenden."
