The marketplace in Løkken has a long and exciting history that dates back to the town's early days as a fishing village. Løkken was founded in the late 19th century and quickly developed into a popular holiday destination, especially with the arrival of the railway, which made it easier for visitors to reach the area.
The marketplace has served as a social and commercial center where local producers and merchants could sell their goods. Traditionally, there have been markets in Løkken where one could find everything from fresh fish and local specialties to crafts and clothing.
Today, the marketplace is an important part of Løkken's identity and attracts both locals and tourists.

The playground is open to all, and includes an attractive and spacious pavilion with many seats, 2 grills and a place for fires. There’s seating for around 18 people.

The playground equipment and pavilion were established thanks to municipal funding. A citizens’ group wanted to erect a pavilion and playground equipment in the old marketplace for events, in which companionship and openness would be prioritised.
