Park Lingezegen, Landscape park in Overbetuwe, Netherlands.
Park Lingezegen is a large landscape park located between Arnhem and Nijmegen with wetlands, forests, farmland, and recreational areas linked by paths. The terrain shifts regularly between open fields, wooded sections, and areas with water features.
The park was created in the 1990s as part of urban planning to prevent two large cities from merging together. This original role as a green buffer continues to shape how it functions and is organized today.
The park consists of several distinct sections that reflect different landscapes and land uses, showing how nature and human activity coexist in one place. Visitors can see how local communities use green spaces for recreation, farming, and nature conservation all together.
The area is quite large and is best explored by bicycle, as numerous cycling paths run through it. Visitors can find parking spots, small shops for provisions, and spots for swimming or fishing at different locations throughout the park.
The park still contains traces of a former historic site, where concrete blocks today mark the outline of what once stood there. A bridge crosses over the railway line and connects the eastern and western sections of the park.
