Aars Lystanlæg

Aars Lystanlæg has a long and interesting history - initially as a venue for festivities and dance, and later evolving into the town's green park - rich with oppurtinities for playing and relaxing.

Aars Lystanlæg provides a green escape from the towns vibrant life. It is a park imprinted with big trees, a lake and beautiful perennials surrounding the area. You will find fun play equipment that follows the paths around the park, and on the island in the lake you have the oppurtunity to try the giant swings. As well as try out the parkourcourse.

Aars Lystanlæg was established in 1898 and is a peaceful park with lakes, a playground and great spots for an outing with friends and family. 

For many years, the facilities has been used for several events. In 1907 and 1929 the County Exhibition (Amtsudstillingen) and the Business Exhibition (Erhvervsudstillingen) took place and marked Aars as being a city that is both modern as well as visionary. 

Furthermore the annual Constitution Festivals (Grundlovsfester) with the first one taking place in 1901, where held here, as well as the big Cimbre Festival from the 1940's and every year following that.

In 2015 the facilities where reconstructed to what it is today.
