Renovation of Wilhelminapark
Wilhelminapark is a valuable municipal monument and a green gem in Oud-Noord. Currently, it is not the place we want it to be for local residents and visitors.

The goal is to restore the park as a pleasant and safe place for recreation and relaxation.
The contractor will now begin preparatory work and will also carry out the renovation. Over the coming months, the design for the park’s layout and enhancement will be developed into a final plan.
