Slottsparken ble tegnet av slottsarkitekt H. D. F. Linstow i 1838, og anlagt mellom 1838 og 1860 av den første slottsgartneren, Martin Mortensen. De fleste trærne i parken, opprinnelig mer enn 2000, ble plantet samlet i 1842. Parken ble tidlig beskrevet som svært frodig og blomsterrik. Gjennom årene ble Slottsparken stadig forenklet. Det ble færre dammer og mindre beplantning enn det en gang var.
I dag preges parken av store plener og voluminose trekroner. Over tid er antallet trær nesten halvert på grunn av alder og skader. Slottsgartneriet arbeider nå med å tilbakeføre deler av parkens opprinnelige mangfold, med busker og blomsterprakt under trekronene. Parken er et vernet kulturminne og forvaltes av Slottets gartnere etter miljøvennlige prinsipper.

The Palace Park was designed by the Palace architect H. D. F. Linstow in 1838 and was laid out between 1838 and 1860 by the first gardener at the Royal Palace, Martin Mortensen. Most of the trees in the park, originally numbering more than 2 000, were planted in 1842. Early descriptions refer to the park as lush and abundant with flowers. Over the years the Palace Park has been steadily simplified to include fewer ponds and plants than previously.
Today the park is characterised by large lawns and voluminous trees, although the number of trees has almost been halved as a result of old age and damage over time. The Garden Section at the Royal Palace is now working to restore elements of the park's original diversity, with shrubs and flowers planted beneath the trees. The park is a cultural heritage site and is managed by the Palace gardeners in accordance with eco-friendly principles.

The Palace Park, one of the Norwegian capital’s first and largest parks, surrounds the Royal Palace on all sides and features grassy areas as well as old, majestic trees. The Palace Park was developed simultaneously with the construction of the new Royal Palace, and is based on the ideal model of nature that prevailed in European horticulture in the mid-1800s.(Submitted on October 22, 2024.)
Comprising part of the Palace Park, the Queen’s Park dates all the way back to 1751 when it was created as a private garden in the Rococo style on the plot of land known as Sommerro. It was integrated into the Palace Park in 1840.
