Sterrenbos, Military training area and public park in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The Sterrenbos area combines natural green spaces with designated zones for military exercises, featuring multiple walking paths throughout its grounds.
During the 18th century, Sterrenbos served as a training ground for the Pro Patria et Libertate society, which conducted military drills outside Utrecht's city walls.
The park played a central role in local militia training, where citizens gathered to watch military exercises and participate in community events.
The location includes walking paths arranged in a star pattern, with access points connecting to both the Catharijnesingel and Kruisvaart waterways.
In 1873, the area transformed with the construction of Sterrehof, followed by the addition of a power station and tram depot in the early 1900s.
