Recreational areas in Kristiansand

Kristiansand Parks Department manages and maintains the city council’s recreational areas and the City Forest. We also cooperate with the national government in the management and maintenance of our coastal areas. Furthermore, we work together with sports clubs to clear, maintain and mark hiking paths.

With our islands and skerries, beaches, hiking areas and untouched nature, Kristiansand has something for everyone when it comes to outdoors recreation. Many of our recreational areas also have disabled access.

We have seven lit hiking tracks around Kristiansand. The lights come on in the evenings from early September, and stay on until spring, when daylight lasts until late at night. During autumn and winter, the lights are turned on at dusk and remain on until 11pm. The hiking tracks in Baneheia and Jegersberg are also lit in the mornings from 6am.
