Het Park

THE PARK, EUROMAST

There is a nice park that is simply called The Park (Het Park in Dutch) between the Maritime Quarters (Scheepvarkwartier) and Euromast, not so far east of Delfshaven. The park is the largest in central Rotterdam and is very beautiful. You can find small rivers and lakes here, and nice trees. It is a popular place to relax a warm spring day like this.
