Noorderplantsoen

The earth ramparts were incorporated in the park architecture and the moats were turned into ponds.

The architecture is of an English garden style, characterized by meandering paths and serpentine ponds, inspired by wild nature.

Every year a number of events take place in the Noorderplantsoen, of which the Noorderzon Theater Festival is well known.

This cultural event takes place at the end of August and is visited by over 125,000 visitors.

This run through the park is held annually in October or early November and attracts about 500 runners.
