“Together with my group of friends, I have the tradition of having a barbecue every spring/summer in Griftpark, where we can sit by the water and enjoy ourselves.”

Daphne

“A beautiful park, perfect for a picnic with friends. It also has an interesting history. Until 1960, it was the most polluted place in Utrecht due to the gas factory that was built there.”

Thomas

“Griftpark has so much to offer, from a basketball court to skate park and a “city petting zoo”!”
