Discover Segeltorp: Playgrounds, Lakes and Local History

Segeltorp brings together special places for families, nature experiences by the water and traces of local history. A terraced playground, a nature reserve, lakeside parks and opportunities for ice skating give the area a variety of facets. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Segeltorp can therefore take their preferred way of spending the trip into account when choosing a base: Should the day focus mainly on playing, spending time by the water, discovering history or ice skating?

Playgrounds and nature in Segeltorp

One notable destination is Palissadparken. The terraced playground is sheltered on a wooded slope. It features a small bamboo grove and various wooden animal sculptures in the shapes of a bear, fox and beaver. The facilities also include a slide, a sandbox with play sand, balancing equipment, a seesaw, a hammock, a swing and a playhouse. This combination of play equipment and unusual design elements makes the park a place where children can discover different ways to play.

Palissadparken is partially accessible and has paved paths for walking and cycling.

The Gömmaren Nature Reserve borders Segeltorp to the south. In addition to its landscaped parks, this gives the area a connection to nature that allows for a different kind of exploration. Anyone who wants to alternate between a varied playground and a nature area when planning their trip will find different ways to spend the day in Segeltorp.

At Långsjön and in Kråkparken

Långsjön lies east of Segeltorp. It has a 1.6-kilometre-long ice-skating loop. The exact length of the route is a useful reference point if you are planning a day on the ice and want to compare the length of the facility with your personal preferences. In addition, public ice-skating sessions are held at Segeltorpshallen in Segeltorp. This means that you can choose between a facility at Långsjön and an indoor option in the area for this activity.

Kråkparken has benches and picnic tables by the lake, a barbecue area and several places to sit. The park is partially accessible and easy to reach both from the nearby road and from the footpath along Långsjön. This makes it possible to combine time by the lake with a break in the park.

Water pipelines and a transport route as local history

Segeltorp also has a technical history that can be traced through specific places and dates. The water caretaker’s cottage housed the worker who monitored the underground water pipelines between Norsborg and Stockholm. The large water pipelines intended to carry water from Norsborg to Stockholm were laid underground in Segeltorp in 1903. Anyone interested in infrastructure and the development of places can discover a less obvious side of Segeltorp in this context.

The transport landscape also has a historical connection. Before the E4 motorway was built in the 1960s, Gamla Södertäljevägen connected Stockholm and Södertälje. This information adds a look at the former connection between the two cities to the history of the water pipelines. Together with the parks, the nature reserve and Långsjön, this creates a diverse picture of Segeltorp that is not limited to a single type of outing.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Segeltorp, you can use your planned experiences as a guide when making your choice. For a stay with plenty of time for play, the details of Palissadparken are the main consideration. Anyone who wants to combine water and breaks outdoors can include Kråkparken and Långsjön in their plans. For ice skating, depending on your plans, you can choose the 1.6-kilometre-long loop at Långsjön or public ice skating at Segeltorpshallen. And anyone who appreciates local history as well as activities can add the water caretaker’s cottage and Gamla Södertäljevägen to their trip.
