Stationslunden in Dals Rostock

In Dals Rostock, a small community 8 kilometers west of Mellerud, Mellerud municipality and the non-profit association KRAFTEN Dals Rostock, with the help of financial support from, among others, Leader Framtidsbygder, have developed the area around the community's station house and shop.

About the project

After a survey and process work in Dals Rostock, it emerged that the place is seen as important for both young and old in the community. However, there has been a lack of a space where there is an opportunity to pause, rest, and socialize in a scenic environment.

To remedy this, the municipality and the association, with the help of, among others, financial support from Leader Framtidsbygder, have created a more park-like environment, with benches and greenery. A welcoming and pleasant place that was previously a gravel area has emerged with the help of volunteer efforts.

The project is currently ongoing. This page will be updated with more pictures and information when the project is completed.

From the project application:

”The idea is to create a pleasant central environment by establishing a park”
