Sonsbeek Park, Urban park in Arnhem, Netherlands

The 67-hectare park contains century-old beech forests, multiple ponds, fountains, two waterfalls, and rolling hills near the city center of Arnhem.

Baron van Heeckeren purchased the estate in 1821 and transformed the grounds into an English landscape garden, though financial issues led to partial land sales.

The park hosts the renowned Sonsbeek sculpture exhibitions during summer months, displaying contemporary art installations throughout the green spaces.

Visitors can access the park within 5 minutes on foot from Arnhem Central Station through the Sonsbeekzijde exit or take bus lines 2 and 91.

The White Water Mill remains the only functioning water mill from ten historical mills that once operated along the Sint-Jansbeek stream in the park.
