Today the scooter track officially opens in Fælledparken.
12th November 2013
Frederik Vs vej, Fælledparken
The event starts at 16:00 and the music stops playing at 18:00.
Technical and Environmental Mayor, City of Copenhagen – Ayfer Baykal is giving the opening speech.
The redevelopment of Fælledparken started in 2009 when the park turned 100 years old.
The scooter track was not part of the original renewal plan, but has been added due to some age and experience conflicts
on the adjacent skateboarding area.
Wrap up warm!

The Copenhagen municipality is governed by Copenhagen’s municipal council (Borgerrepræsentation). Council elections are held the third Tuesday of November every four years….the next time in a little over a week.
These are the silhouettes that have dominated Copenhagen for the last few weeks.
Lasertryk.dk printed 150,000 posters for this year’s election.
The posters are allowed to be displayed for four Saturdays before the election and must be removed within eight days after the election takes place.

TODAY THE COPENHAGEN STREET LIGHTS CAME ON AT 16:18 – the days are getting really short!
Illuminating the capital is the design classic “Copenhagen Lamp” …designed in the early 1970’s at the Copenhagen Stadsarkitekts Studio ( Copenhagen Municipal Architecture Department). The electrical giant, Philips, took the design and put it into mass production, propelling the lamp into every street in Copenhagen.
The lamp is now being replaced by newer energy saving versions…but originals are still in abundance.
The Copenhagen Lamp measures 46 cm. in diameter and 33 cm. in height.
