Park Nieuwe Koers

Park Nieuwe Koers, Public park and event venue in Nieuwe Koerswijk, Belgium

Park Nieuwe Koers is a neighbourhood park in Mariakerke-Nieuwe Koers, west Ostend, opened in 2019. It links the dunes around the Duinenkerkje with the Tuinen van Stene farmland. A cycle path crosses it, and a central atrium passes through the De Drie Platanen care home. The park holds allotment gardens, the Astropolis Space Science Center observatory, and a permanent events meadow of about 9 hectares.

The park opened in 2019 in the Mariakerke-Nieuwe Koers district, named after the neighbourhood and the nearby Nieuwe Oefenrenbaan, a horse racing track laid out in the 1920s and linked to the Wellingtonrenbaan. It forms an ecological link between the dunes around the Duinenkerkje and the Tuinen van Stene farmland.

The park takes its name from the Mariakerke-Nieuwe Koers district and from the nearby Nieuwe Oefenrenbaan, a horse racing track laid out in the 1920s and linked to the Wellingtonrenbaan further on. The cycle path through the grounds is part of the LF Kunststedenroute and the Groene Lint, and passes through a central atrium in the De Drie Platanen care home.

A cycle path runs through the park as part of the LF Kunststedenroute (Ostend–Bruges–Ghent) and the Groene Lint loop around Ostend. Further on it passes through a central atrium inside the De Drie Platanen care home, which is itself one of the park entrances. The park faces Ostend airport, and for large concerts shuttle buses run to and from the station, with no large event car park on site.

The park opened in 2019 as an ecological link between the dunes around the Duinenkerkje and the farmland of the Tuinen van Stene. Its permanent event meadow covers about 9 hectares and holds 40,000 to 50,000 concertgoers; Rammstein played the first concerts there on 3 and 4 August 2022, two years late because of the coronavirus pandemic.
