Oude Plantage, Public park in Kralingen-Crooswijk, Netherlands

The Oude Plantage extends along the Nieuwe Maas river, offering views of Rotterdam's skyline from its riverside location between Maasboulevard and De Esch.

Rotterdam authorities purchased this land in 1688 and established it as the city's first public park in 1769, marking a significant step in urban development.

Local residents maintain their connection to the park through annual celebrations, including the Rotterdam Parks Month festivities in May.

Visitors can access multiple walking paths throughout the park, which connects the Honingerdijk area to the waterfront of the Nieuwe Maas.

During the winter of 1944-1945, inhabitants cut down the park's trees for firewood, leading to a complete replanting effort in 1964.
