Park de Wezenlanden

Park de Wezenlanden spans across 21.2 hectares, featuring a petting zoo, playground, skate park, basketball court, panna football field and numerous walking paths.

The land was allocated to orphan masters of Zwolle in 1591, remaining marshy until 1932 when development began following the Zuiderzee dike fortification.

The park hosts the Bevrijdingsfestival Overijssel each May 5th, gathering over 150,000 people for the Netherlands' largest liberation festival celebration.

The park limits large-scale events to eight per year, requiring two weeks of recovery time between major gatherings to maintain the grass condition.

Local schools conduct summer gym classes in the park, while the terrain features elevated fields with stabilized grass and drainage systems for various activities.
