The greenway Lersøstien (The Lersø Path) runs through the park and an adjacent area with allotments.

Its natural drainage was blocked and replaced by a canal known as Lygte Å to improve the supply of water to Copenhagen.

Towards the end of the century the lake came into use as a garbage dump and landfill and its surroundings were gradually redeveloped after the parish of Brønshøj was merged into Copenhagen in 1901.

It is from 1931 and was a gift from the Foundation for the Advancement of Artistic Purposes (Fonden til kunstneriske Formaals Fremme).

[3] Knud Nellemose's statue Young Man with Discus was installed in the southeastern corner of the park in 1942.
