Stener Heyerdals park, Kristiansand, Norway.

            In 1896, an expatriate Kristiansander, a gardener by profession, expressed indignation that the city's politicians did nothing with the open space where there had previously been a cemetery. "On a brief visit to my hometown, I see that the hospital's cemetery is still in its infancy," he wrote in a letter to the presidency. This triggered a number of suggestions for what had to be done from both the inhabitants of the city and the people outside the city. But little happened from the municipality.

In December 1898, several of Kristiansand's residents spoke out in favor of building a park in the city. "The park will be for the benefit of the entire residents of the Upper District, at the same time as it will be to the delight of our City," they wrote in a letter to the presidency, and at the same time launched what had previously been the hospital cemetery as a suitable site for construction parks.

In May 1900, the presidency decided to build a park. The location was the Hospital's cemetery. By the end of the year 1900, the open space had become a park with lawns, trees and benches.
