Park Spoor Noord is a rather new park (opened in 2009) but has rapidly become a favourite with the locals. The park has brought a lot to the neighbourhood, like much needed open space, trees and grass and a place for kids to play and adults to relax. The park has a few facilities like build-in bbqs, a skate ramp, a bar , a sheltered area (where the host a lot of flea markets) and a few sport fields. The best part is probably the water feature in front of . When the sun is shining, the water is filled with people (mostly kids though).
The bar opened (as in re-opened; it closes during the winter period) this year at the end of March. It really is a great place to meet friends, have dinner and drink a cocktail. Even though it's a sheltered location you are basically sitting outside which is great when the weather allows it but do bring a sweater if you're going at night! Fans of live music and soccer will also not be disappointed : check the event calendar to see when the bands are playing or when they are screening a big match!
Although the park has a lot to offer and you can enjoy a good meal at Cargo, sometimes you just want to go someplace a bit more quiet and that's where Damplein comes in. This square on the outside of the park has a couple a very popular places! is probably the most well known and are very popular for their hangover breakfast and their picnic baskets. also has a great menu and is right across from De Caravan while is more of a bar (yes, beer!) than a restaurant but you can get a few snacks. This square has a great vibe, totally worth a visit!
