About Jubileumsparken

Jubileumsparken is located in Frihamnen in Gothenburg. Here you can visit the harbor bath, try sailing, canoeing, or visit the sauna. In the summer of 2023, a greener and larger park with more pools opened, and in 2024, the popular sauna was reopened.

Jubileumsparken is operated by the Passalen association through an IOP (idea-driven public partnership) between Passalen and the City of Gothenburg. Together with the City of Gothenburg, we take on the challenge of making Jubileumsparken an open and inclusive meeting place where everyone should feel welcome.
