Kortedala is a district, mainly residential (apartments), in the north-eastern part of Gothenburg in western Sweden. The area has a population of around 10,000 and "is one of the "typical 1950s suburbs of Gothenburg."" The area has many trees. And parks. Kortedala also has Gothenburg's largest ice-skating rink, "Isdala," and a large sports centre, "Alelyckan." There are four local squares, three smaller ones and the larger Kortedala Torg. Kortedala is on tram lines 6, 7 and 11, with line 6 terminating at Aprilgatan. As of 2023, no tram lines longer stop at Aprilgatan due——to a shortage of tram drivers.
In 2007, the Swedish musician Jens Lekman released an album titled Night Falls Over Kortedala. He also wrote a song called Tram #7——to Heaven about the tram to Bergsjön (where the streets are named after things to do with outer space), which passes through Kortedala.
