• Shallow play pond on the former gasworks grounds, where kids wade on warm days, so pack a towel and spare clothes
• Theater De Krakeling sits on the grounds, a theater for young audiences for over 40 years with weekly family shows
• Big events some weekends, since festivals and concerts take over parts of the Westergas site, so check the Westergas agenda before you go

Westerpark joins an 1890s city park with the grounds of the old Westergasfabriek gasworks, whose restored brick buildings now hold cafés, a cinema and Theater De Krakeling, a theater for young audiences.

The older eastern part has a pond with ducks; the newer western part has a shallow play pond where kids wade in summer. Wide lawns suit picnics and ball games, and there are public tennis courts.
