The Noordernplantsoen is one of the most popular green areas in Groningen. It was created in 1874 when the old fortifications around the city were turned into an English garden-style park. The old ramparts were turned into little hills and the moats into ponds to make a beautiful park. Today it is a popular spot for students to be surrounded by greenery and to enjoy the sun.
