Wilhelminapark, Sneek, Public park in Sneek, Netherlands

The park features an island encircled by water, with winding paths, elliptical flower beds, and two small hills across its trapezoidal layout.

Created in 1898 by the Old Burger Orphanage of Sneek, the park received its name from Queen Wilhelmina during her inauguration that same year.

The park serves as a central gathering place for Sneek residents, featuring an aviary with peacocks, special ducks, crowned cranes, and various other animals.

Located between Franekervaart, Oude Dijk, and Bolswarderweg in the northwest section of Sneek, the park offers numerous benches and shaded areas for visitors.

As the second park in the Netherlands to receive national protection status after Amsterdam's Vondelpark, it maintains its original 1898 landscape design by G.L. Vlaskamp.
