Stadspark Maastricht

The urban green space features pathways along historic fortification walls, a fountain, animal enclosures, and the Jeker river flowing through its grounds.

The park incorporates sections of medieval city walls from the 13th century, including the preserved Helpoort gate, which stands as the oldest city gate in Netherlands.

A memorial statue of D'Artagnan marks the location where the famous musketeer died during the 1673 siege of Maastricht by French forces.

Visitors can access multiple entrances from Prins Bisschopssingel and the city center, with dedicated paths for walking and cycling throughout the grounds.

The former bear pit, which housed live bears until the late 20th century, now displays art installations including a sculpture of Jo the bear on a bench.
