Before 1878, this area was used as a gallows field. Once there was no need to have such an area, it was transformed into a park. This place is a top favorite for a picnic, dog walking, and running. If you want to combine it with other activities, it is close to De Koninck brewery!

The stadspark (translation: city park), is the Central Park of Antwerp. However, before becoming a park, this triangular-shaped area was a military fortress during the 19th Century. In the past, the park had negative fame, which has completely changed nowadays to a favorite place for runners and joggers, and families to go with children!
