North Park(Noorderplantsoen)

A very beautiful and clean park practically in the center of the city. Not only seagulls and ducks swim in the ponds, but also gorgeous swans and some charming birds. All of them are almost tame, you can feed them with bread. Couples with pets slowly walk along the paths, athletes run around(both in the daytime and at night). Interestingly, in the warm season, real festivals are held here! People can not only sit on lawns, but also swim on inflatable mattresses in reservoirs(their poor inhabitants!). In general, it is very good - quiet, calm, not crowded. You can come to sunbathe, get some air, relieve stress after shopping. In the dark, the park is well lit, so walking is not at all scary.

City Park(Stadspark)

Large green park in the southwest of the city. Even in winter, it never ceases to be green: firstly, green lawns, and secondly, foliage on some trees. A great place for a walk with children - in the park there are not only playgrounds, but also enclosures with animals that can be hand-fed and stroked. Besides, it is great for cycling :) Admission is free.

Lake Paterswoldsemeer

Although not really a park, this place is perfect for walking and relaxing. You can walk around, breathe fresh air, admire the water surfaces. In the warm season, it will be great to take a boat or kayak and swim on the lake for pleasure, go to the mill and bake bread with your own hands. There are cozy and spacious cafes and restaurants not far from the boat station. In the colder period, you can simply walk along the lake itself, and around it. You won't want to leave! Why is it attractive? You can come here at any time of the year and enjoy your vacation not only alone, but also with your soul mate, family or friends. It is not forbidden to organize a barbecue party or a picnic here. All opportunities are provided for fishing, photography, walking in the style of "thinking about the eternal." In summer, of course, it is more crowded here, so I advise you to take your seats early in the morning. But you will get a beautiful tan, swim(including on a boat), enjoy nature around. Local cafes and restaurants are happy to welcome guests, and the prices are without additional allowances "for a seat", the service is excellent. Of course, the mill! It functions during the warm season, so you can personally observe the process of its work and participate in it - it is priceless. Even in winter people go there to meet the sunrise or enjoy the sunset on a platform by the water.

Things to do in Groningen

Despite the small size of the city, it is always interesting here. You can feed the birds in a pond in one of the parks(or walk through several parks). As a rule, each park has its own pond or several, where swans, various ducks live, and seagulls fly in. You are guaranteed to be filled with positive emotions. You can stroll through the quiet old streets with typical Dutch buildings, without shops and cafes. Walk along the embankments of rivers and canals, admire the ships passing by, or even be a guest of one of them. Bypass the central bustling part of the city, where all the shopping streets are collected, visit the central square and nearby buildings of cultural value(for example, the Martini Tower). Take a bus or bicycle tour of the city. On festival days: attend several performances(usually the stages are scattered around Groningen).

In Groningen, you can see children everywhere - on bicycles with their parents, on my bicycles, in trailers for the bicycles of seniors. This applies to both toddlers(up to one year old) and those who already know how to sit and even walk. In terms of movement, everything seems to be pretty safe. There are no problems with wheelchairs - the city has ramps, elevators, comfortable slopes and footpaths.

In cafes and restaurants, most often you will find not only highchairs, but also a special menu with healthy food, cleverly veiled under the one that children love the most. In addition, there are special children's cafes(with appropriate decoration and prices above average). Playgrounds are not so common, but contact zoos will be of interest to everyone - in Stadspark, for example. There are also playgrounds. Free admission.
