Dansk: Haven er anlagt i 1876 af Læseforeningen. Det betød, at haven var lukket for almindelige besøgende. Læseforeningen var et bibliotek for de rige borgere og kun personer med adgangskort kunne besøge haven. I 1942 overdrog Læseforeningen haven til Odense Kommune og et helt nyt parkanlæg blev skabt. Bag projektet stod havearkitekterne C. Th. Sørensen og P. Wad i samarbejde med arkitekt B. Helweg-Møller, der var rådhusets arkitekt. Pergolaen, alle broer i haven og “kinesermuren” er tegnet og udført i særlig fin kvalitet, som er en rådhushave værdig. Den oprindelige pergola indeholdt et fint mønster af rudeformede bede. I 1949 blev H.C. Andersen statuen placeret i haven. Den er skabt af Louis Hasselris. Tæt på - nemlig i åen - ses Erik Heides skulptur Papirbåden fra 1985.
English: The garden was laid out in 1876 by the Reading Association. This meant that the garden was closed to ordinary visitors. The reading association was a library for the rich citizens and only people with access cards could visit the garden. In 1942, the Reading Association transferred the garden to Odense Municipality and a completely new park was created. Behind the project were the garden architects C. Th. Sørensen and P. Wad in collaboration with architect B. Helweg-Møller, who was the architect of the town hall. The pergola, all bridges in the garden and the “Chinese wall” are designed and executed in particularly fine quality, which is worthy of a town hall garden. The original pergola contained a fine pattern of diamond-shaped beds. In 1949, H.C. Andersen statue located in the garden. It is created by Louis Hasselris. Close up - namely in the river - is Erik Heide's sculpture Papirbåden from 1985.
