A park with a long history

Vroesenpark was originally laid out in 1929 as an ornamental park. After the Second World War it was redesigned as a more practical recreational park, with greater emphasis on open lawns, play areas and activities for local residents.

Since 1977, it has officially been known as Vroesenpark, a name connected with the historic Vroesen family of Rotterdam.
