Philips de Jongh Wandelpark, Public park in Strijp, Eindhoven, Netherlands
The Philips de Jongh Wandelpark is a public space in the Strijp district with mature trees, open lawns, and designed garden areas. The site includes an extensive network of pathways that connect different landscape zones throughout the grounds.
The site became public land in 1920 when Philips company donated it to Eindhoven, naming it after Anna Philips de Jongh, wife of industrialist Anton Philips. This gift reflected the company's role in shaping the city and its commitment to public amenities.
The park bears the name of Anna Philips de Jongh and reflects the area's role as a place where people from the city come to spend time outdoors. Walking paths and gathering spots show how the space has become part of local life and community routines.
The park sits roughly 15 minutes walk from Eindhoven city center and contains a restaurant within the grounds serving meals throughout the day. The venue also offers space for private gatherings and events.
The grounds border the former private estate Landgoed De Wielewaal of the Philips family, where industrial and landscape history stand side by side. This juxtaposition reveals how the park bridges urban legacy and modern green space.
