Historien som førte til Tøjhushaven startede helt tilbage i 1800-tallet, hvor krige hærgede Europa. Da Englænderne røvede den danske flåde, udbyggede Danmark sit forsvar, bl.a. med Tøjhuset på Udbyhøjvej. I forbindelse med opførelse af Tøjhuset, Nørrejyllands arsenal, blev der i 1802-05 anlagt et lystanlæg kaldet Tøjhushaven.
Haven er anlagt i romantisk stil med en lindeallé, lindelysthus, mindesten og gamle granitsøjler, afgrænsede bede og sirlige stier. Der er legeplads, grillborde, bålhytte, petanquebane, borde/bænkesæt. Tøjhushaven er et oplagt udflugtssted for hele familien.
Den sydlige del af parken ligger meget lavt i en i forvejen lavt liggende bydel. Derfor er en gangbro blevet etableret så man kan komme tørskoet gennem denne del af anlæget selv om det ofte står under vand.
The story that led to Tøjhushaven started way back in the 1800s, when wars ravaged Europe. As the English robbed the Danish fleet, the Danish defense was increased. One of the new additions was Tøjhuset on Udbyhøjvej. In connection with the construction of the armory, North Jutland Arsenal, a garden was landscaped in 1802-05.
The garden is laid out in the romantic style with a tree avenue, memorial stones and ancient granite columns, closed beds and neat paths. There is a playground, barbecue tables, petanque avalible to visiters. Tøjhushaven is an ideal destination for the whole family.
The southern part of the park is very low in an already low-lying part of town. Therefore, a boardwalk has been established to allow people safe passage through this often very wet and flooded part of the park.
A sign warns you that the boardwalk can be slippery in the rain.
Approximate boardwalk length (feet): 785
