In Sweden at the end of the 19th century, various kinds of larger associations arose, people gathered around to get involved politically, get involved in the free church, get involved in culture, temperance, etc. You usually talk about the 19th century as the time of the great popular movements, with examples such as the labor movement, the temperance movement, the free church movement and the sports movement, and later the homestead movement. The labor movement and the temperance movement in particular became involved in the leisure time of their members. For this purpose, special Folkparker or People's Parks and Order Houses were built. Later, the idea was also added that larger meeting places could be built in the form of amusement parks. The first people's park that was established by the labor movement, was Folkets Park in Malmö in 1891. Parks then emerged in Helsingborg and in Lund in 1895, in Ystad in 1896, in Trelleborg in 1897 and in Lomma 1898.
