Noorderplantsoen, Public park in Groningen, Netherlands

The park extends in a curved shape around the old city, featuring meandering paths, serpentine ponds, and green spaces across its narrow layout.

The area transformed from 17th-century defensive walls and canals into an English landscape park during the late 19th century following the 1874 Vestingswet law.

The Noorderzon Theater Festival attracts over 125,000 visitors each August, presenting performances by Dutch and international theater, dance, and music groups.

The park includes an Art Nouveau bandstand, a restaurant, playgrounds, and extensive grass areas where students and families gather throughout the year.

The annual Plantsoenloop running event draws 500 participants through the park's paths, maintaining this tradition since its first edition in 1957.
