Park Lepelenburg
Picnicking at Lepelenburg
On summery days, everyone in Utrecht—from students to families—gladly descends on Park Lepelenburg. This little park has a playground, white chairs for lounging about and a very large field of grass where youth play football and families picnic. The red-white bandstand is the park’s eye-catcher.
Concerts in the bandstand
If you happen upon Park Lepelenburg on a summery day, you will likely end up not leaving it quickly. If you do, it will only be for a short walk to the supermarket on Nachtegaalstraat to buy a bottle of rosé and snacks and then to return to enjoy life on the grass amongst the inhabitants of Utrecht. Do not be surprised if you end up spending a Sundays here, taking in live music or a play performed in the bandstand.
