The sculptures are set on a hillside making great use of the natural features to enhance the impact. It’s a really good walk to enjoy too. We spent more than an hour enjoying the different views and creations. The main piece is visible from most of the park and it’s really striking.

We came across this amazing sculpture whilst looking round Gothenburg so we took a picture to research it later. We were surprised to find that it’s a bronze sculpture by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd of an oversized colt Python 357 magnum revolver with knotted barrel and muzzle pointing upwards. Carl made this sculpture after John Lennon was murdered in 1980. We were memorised by it and the powerful message of non-violence. There are currently 31 copies of the sculpture around the world. Well worth seeing.
