Roege Bos

The park spans across 25 hectares of land, featuring a central pond with a wooden boardwalk and numerous native trees, including tall poplars throughout the landscape.

Archaeological excavations in the area revealed a post from after year 129, indicating agricultural activities during ancient times before becoming part of Lieuwerderwolde medieval polder.

The park's name translates from Dutch to mean wild forest, reflecting the natural character of this green space within Groningen's Municipal Ecological Structure.

Walking paths throughout the park connect to the Bushalte Het Roege Bos stop, which provides regular public transportation service via Bus 39 to Hoofdstation.

The park was established on former sugar beet depot grounds, where residual nutrients from sugar beet waste enriched the soil composition for future plant growth.
