Westpark, Urban park in Groningen, Netherlands
Westpark spans 25 hectares between Vinkhuizen district, De Held neighborhood, and Hoendiep canal, featuring water bodies and green spaces for recreation.
The land served as meadows with small settlements like Leegkerk and Dorkwerd until the twentieth century, when soil from the sugar factory elevated the terrain.
The park layout follows an Italian mosaic theme, introduced as part of the 'City of Tomorrow' structural plan presented in 1994.
Visitors can participate in water skiing activities at the designated lake, managed by VariaSki association since 2008.
The park houses a community of 24 tiny houses, constructed since 2020, where residents practice sustainable living through shared resources and eco-friendly initiatives.
