Spoorpark, Urban park in Tilburg, Netherlands.
Spoorpark is a 7.5-hectare green space in central Tilburg featuring water elements, meadows, walking paths, trees, and flower beds throughout. The layout includes multiple areas for strolling, sitting, and spending time at different spots within the grounds.
The site was once a railway station and yard called Tilburg West before being transformed into a public park through community efforts beginning in 2014.
This space serves as a gathering place where residents attend concerts, outdoor markets, and seasonal events throughout the year. These activities help shape how the neighborhood comes together and celebrates community.
The park is open daily starting at 8:00 AM and closes at 10:00 PM, with extended hours until 11:00 PM during summer months from June to August. Visitors should be prepared for varying weather and bring appropriate clothing if planning to spend extended time outdoors.
The site incorporates a sophisticated water management system with constructed wetlands, ponds, and streams that collect rainwater sustainably. This system works quietly in the background, demonstrating how contemporary parks can integrate environmental responsibility into their design.
