贯穿卡尔斯塔德市的克拉尔河在其长度的某一点上分叉，形成一个300米长的海角；从空中看，它就像一只鸟的尖嘴。海角是一个强有力的景观，是一个具有相当戏剧性的地方，也是桑格伦德公园（Sandgrundsparken）的所在地。

At one point in its length, the Klar River that runs through the city of Karlstad splits to form a 300-meter-long cape; from the air it appears as the pointed beak of a bird. The cape is a powerful landscape, a place of considerable drama, and the site of Sandgrund Park (Sandgrundsparken).

在公园建设之前的许多年里，该地区一直相当荒凉，没有目的地的感觉。在设计过程中，河流是一个明显的特征，而海角也是一个明显的特征，其尖尖的顶端在水中。这些特征在公园的设计中得到了强化和放大。沿着河边的木板路系统延伸到水中，迎接夕阳，并强调其与水的接近性。海角的顶端被赋予了更多的建筑外形，被重新塑造成一个40米长的观景平台。地面被塑造成由五条平行山脊组成的起伏地形，第一条高度为6米，其余的小丘被赋予逐渐降低的轮廓。它们高耸的山峰为山脊提供了绿色的视角；相比之下，它们之间的山谷则提供了封闭性。每一个山谷都有一个独特的植物栖息地，其中包括山毛榉林、玉兰树林和蕨类谷地。

For many years before the park’s construction, the area had been fairly desolate, without a sense of destination. The river was an obvious feature to address in the design process, as well as the cape, whose pointed tip terminates in the water. Those same qualities are reinforced and amplified in the design of the park. A system of boardwalks along the river’s edge extends into the water, welcomes the sunset, and stresses its proximity to the water. The tip of the cape was given a more architectural profile, reshaped into a 40-meter-long viewing platform. The ground was modelled as an undulating terrain of five parallel ridges, the first measuring six meters in height, the remaining mounds given gradually lower profiles. Their elevated crests offer green viewpoints along the ridges; in contrast, the valleys between them provide containment. Every other valley harbours a distinct plant habitat, among them a beech forest, a magnolia grove, and a fern valley.

Sandgrund公园设计的目的是将一个无名的沙岸变成一个有意义的地方，一个可以享受周围河流景观的宏伟的地方，并从那里享受。它是一个凝视河流的地方，通过四季的变化享受它的流动和反射。
The aim of Sandgrund Park design has been to transform an anonymous sandbank into a place of significance, a place in which, and from which, to enjoy the grandeur of the surrounding river landscape. It is a place to gaze at the river and enjoy its flow and reflections through the variations of all four seasons.
