When it is summer time in Eskilstuna many people go to Djurgården and drink beer, play football or just relax in the sun. Lots of people walk their dogs in the area too. During the summer lots of people are here. They have barbeques and party here before they go to the night clubs. During day time family and friends play football and brännball (a Swedish way of baseball), spend time, walking, running, looking at other people and just enjoy the beautiful nature.

The picture is one of the bad thing what is the result of people having fun, and when they don care to clean up after themselves. BAD!
