Hässelby Strand metro station is the western terminus of the Green line of the Stockholm metro. It is located in the district of Hässelby strand, which is part of the borough of Hässelby-Vällingby in the west of the city of Stockholm. The station is at ground level and has a single island platform, with two terminal platform tracks and a siding. Access is from Fyrspannsgatan through a building across the end of the platform that also includes shops and apartments. The distance to Slussen is 18.6 km (11.6 mi).The station was inaugurated on 18 November 1958 as the western end of an extension from Hässelby gård. As part of a redevelopment of the centre of Hässelby strand, the original single-storey station building was closed and demolished in 2013, being initially replaced by a temporary building on a different site. This in turn was replaced in 2015 by the new multi-storey building, with shops and apartments, on the site of the original building.As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, the access route from the station building to the platforms was decorated in 2000 with a tile mosaic by artist Christian Partos entitled Teleportings. These survived the 2015 rebuilding.

Kanaanbadet
Kanaanbadet

Kanaanbadet (Kanaan beach), is a public beach by the lake Mälaren (a lake located outside Stockholm, Sweden). The beach is not far west of Blackeberg in the Hässelby-Vällingby area and is a part of the Grimsta nature reserve. The biblical name Kanaan was used for the first time in around 1730 and comes from an old croft that was built on the beach. By the end of the 18th century, a bigger house was built and it was later transformed into a tavern. The old tavern was torn down in 1881 and "the king of Swedish snuff" Knut Ljunglöf built a house & since 1952 it has been known as the Kanaan Cafe. Nowadays the beach is a popular place to go for people living west of Stockholm and it is often crowded on hot summer days. There is one cafeteria, a mini golf court and a small diving tower. Sweden's first youth center was opened here in 1933 and during World War II it was a standby station for officers. Kanaan swimming society was named after the beach when the club was founded in 1958. The club nowadays have their activities in different indoor pools around the west side. Stockholm's canoeing club Kanaanbadet has their club/boat house next to the beach. During the winter many upper secondary schools have their winter sports by and on the lake. Kannan's allotment gardens are located about 1km from the beach and consist of a field and 31 cottages surrounding it. This area was originally a camping area in the 1950s, but later became a permanent allotment with little space for gardening.
