Park enthusiasts built the first park in Lialøypa in 1994/95. The next season elements where build throughout the resort. By 1996/97 the “Hemsedalsparken” was built at its current location in slope 22. Over the years the concept has been developed to include Blåparken (the Blue Park).

The parks are designed and maintained by Lars Eriksen, who has a great deal of experience in the field from Norway and abroad. All the elements throughout the parks are prepped and marked every day.
