The most famous park in our city is Park Valkenberg. Originally a place where only the residents of the Castle of Breda and their guests were welcome. They trained their falcons for hunting there. Hence the name Valkenberg. The park has a long history and was originally a real forest. In the 17th century, it was transformed into a French-style park with seventeen statues in flowerbeds. The statue of Hercules (replica) is a reminder of this. Today, Valkenberg is a place where people in Breda come together. To enjoy each other's company and the sun, to relax on the terrace of T-Huis, or to let the children play in the playground.

Wilhelmina Park dates back to the late 19th century. The designer (Leonard Springer) was commissioned to incorporate the fortification moats that were still present into the design. This explains the 'meandering' shape of the ponds. The park was completed in 1894 and was named Wilhelmina Park due to the visit of the then 14-year-old Queen Wilhelmina.

The park features three memorial sites that commemorate the Second World War:
The monument De Adelaars, the 'Polish' tank (actually a German tank donated to Breda by the Polish liberators), and a memorial for the 118 Jews from Breda who were deported.

The Van Sonsbeeckpark was opened in 1936 by its namesake Mayor Willem van Sonsbeeck. He aimed to make Breda a 'city of parks'. The park is divided into nine different sections, each with its own atmosphere and character. For example, there are open meadows, water features, and natural play areas. In the original design, a significant part was reserved for sports. NAC Breda had its stadium here from 1940 to 1996. The natural swimming pool Het Ei was closed in 1993 and made way for Zwembad Sonsbeeck. 
Notably, more than fifty different trees can be found in the Van Sonsbeeckpark, and volunteers do a large part of the maintenance!

Westertuin is the green area in the Westerpark neighbourhood. This neighbourhood, with about 3500 inhabitants, dates back to the 1990s of the last century. The neighbourhood and the park are therefore still relatively young. Westertuin is a water-rich park where you can spot various waterfowl. 

The Zaartpark is one of the most nature-rich parks in Breda. It is located in the riverbed of the Aa of Weerijs between the neighbourhoods of Heuvel and Boeimeer. The park is named after the stream Zaart, which flows from the Mastbos into the city.
The park was established in the 1950s. Since the reconstruction in 1993, the park has been allowed to develop naturally. This has influenced the green policy of the municipality of Breda. In 2005, the Brabantse Delta water authority ensured that the Aa of Weerijs regained its natural meanders.
The Zaartpark is a lovely place to walk along the water.

The unique thing about Park Overbos is that it is partially built over the busy A16 and the railway of the HSL. Thus, the two parts of the park are connected by two enormous plateaus measuring 100 by 80 metres.  You might expect a lot of traffic noise, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is a lovely walking park with many paths and elevation changes where you can truly relax. There are play facilities for children and a small deer park.

The district Brabantpark consists of a villa neighbourhood and a so-called ‘reconstruction neighbourhood’, areas that were built after WWII to solve the housing shortage. A lot of greenery is one of the characteristics of these neighbourhoods, including Brabantpark. In this district, you will find two parks: the eponymous Brabantpark and the Van Koolwijkpark.

The Brabantpark features a large duck pond surrounded by opportunities for walking, playing, and picnicking. The somewhat smaller Van Koolwijkpark was designed in the English landscape style by Cornelis van Koolwijk, who also designed other parks in Breda. 

't Zoet is the former site of the CSM Sugar Factory. An 'urban international-oriented area' is being developed here over the coming decades. 
Since April 2, the new Park 't Zoet has been open. In the former 'beet basin' of the CSM at the Markkade, 6,000 tons of beach sand has been deposited, students from Curio have planted trees, parts of the park have been seeded with grass, and toilets have been installed. The park is accessible on foot or by bike via the Markkade. The entrance is located at the 'beet bridge'. 
Park 't Zoet is temporarily open from Friday to Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00 hours. 

You might not know this green gem yet: the Spoorpark behind the courthouse on Stationslaan. Between the railway and the courthouse, you’ll find a green park with picnic benches in an ideal location. Slowly but surely, the Spoorpark is beginning to gain more recognition. The park is accessible via the two staircases on either side. Relaxing with a view of the Grote Kerk. That will be enjoyable!

The park is open on weekdays until 20:00.
