Park Presikhaaf

About

Park Presikhaaf is one of Arnhem’s most welcoming urban green spaces, offering a relaxed atmosphere for both locals and visitors. Once part of a historic estate, the park has evolved into a spacious landscape of lawns, ponds, and mature trees, with wide paths ideal for walking and cycling. Its 2007 renovation introduced new gardens, open lawns, and an event area surrounded by gentle hills that double as natural seating during festivals. Families appreciate the playgrounds, picnic spots, and barbecue areas scattered throughout the park, while the restored entrance pavilion—relocated from the old Arnhem station—adds a touch of heritage and now serves as a cosy café. With its blend of nature, recreation, and community events, Park Presikhaaf offers a refreshing escape in Arnhem’s eastern district.

Location

Park Presikhaaf is located in the Presikhaaf neighbourhood in northeast Arnhem, roughly between the Arnhem-Zutphen railway line and Winkelcentrum Presikhaaf shopping centre, with main entrances at Laan van Presikhaaf 3 and Ruitenberglaan 31. This green urban oasis, once an English landscape park before 1950s development, now features ponds, waterways, expansive lawns, a heemtuin botanical garden, educational stadsboerderij petting farm, skatepark, playgrounds, and basketball courts amid wildflower areas and old trees. Nearby stand HAN University campus opposite, Arnhem Presikhaaf station a short walk away, the Spitting Leaders sculpture by the park bridge, and a direct pedestrian link over IJssellaan to the shopping centre's 85 stores. The area offers bike paths, parking, and bus access to Arnhem Centraal (15 minutes), Sonsbeek Park westward, and city centre landmarks like Eusebiuskerk.
