Park aan de Stroom

5.5 hectares of new nature for the city

With the creation of Park aan de Stroom, the Scheldt gained a new green riverbank. What was once a hard-surfaced quay is now a place to walk, play, breathe and unwind. Between the Kennedy Tunnel and the Zuid district, alongside Nieuw Zuid, a 750-metre-long park now extends across 5.5 hectares.

A new green riverbank

A park for everyone in Antwerp

Rolling grass mounds, flower-rich riverbanks, seating platforms overlooking the water, a rainwater-retention pond and an orchard bring nature, recreation and city life together.

Park aan de Stroom was designed for everyone. Children can enjoy play elements made from timber beams and climbing structures. Sports enthusiasts can use the fitness equipment or one of four pétanque courts. Dog owners have a secure 800 m² off-leash area.

Those who simply want to enjoy the greenery will find quiet places throughout the park: benches, soft grassy slopes and six timber seating platforms overlooking the Scheldt.

Two pavilions bring extra life to the park

Two park pavilions have been built: one with an elevated viewpoint over the Scheldt and another reminiscent of a greenhouse. In future, they can provide space for meeting, small-scale hospitality or activities.

Did you know that at the southern end there is a wet woodland planted with alders and willows, in an area designed to flood occasionally? A subtle reminder of the power of the Scheldt and an additional boost for biodiversity.
