Right in the heart of the Oosterpark neighbourhood lies the neighbourhood’s namesake, the Oosterpark. The park gained national fame thanks to FC Groningen’s football stadium, which stood in the middle of it. At Oosterpark Stadium, football heroes such as Piet Fransen and Martin Drent fought for the colours of the local football pride. But after 2006, a lot changed. FC Groningen moved to the new stadium, and a residential area was built on the site of Oosterpark Stadium. Oosterpark remained and is still a green haven in the heart of the neighbourhood. Stroll around the large pond or take a seat on one of the benches. At the back of the park is a youth centre where children can let off steam, and there are also several playgrounds for the youngsters. Oosterpark is a lovely spot for a bit of relaxation.
