Significant milestones have been reached in the development of Rijnhaven. On March 25, the city council approved designs for the parks to be established in Rijnhaven.
Approximately one-third of Rijnhaven will be filled in. This process has already started. Up to 3,000 homes will be built there, all adjacent to a newly created park. The final design for this land park is now complete. It will be a space for all Rotterdammers, biodiverse, and with room for events. This park will be constructed once the filling is completed, in 2027. It will open in 2028.
Floating Parks
In addition to the land park, floating parks will be built along the quays on both sides of Rijnhaven, with the first part already in place on the Wilhelminapier side.
A new section of the floating park, 300 meters long, will extend to the Nieuwe Luxor Theater. Construction will start by the end of 2026, and the park will be ready by the end of 2027.
For the floating park Katendrecht, the first sketches are now ready. You can provide suggestions for the layout. On June 12 and 13, there are open days at the Rijnhavenkeet, where you can contribute ideas for the Program of Requirements for the design.
