Park Valkenburg was originally a real forest with tall trees and falcon enclosures. The castle dwellers used them for hunting, hence the name. Hendrik III and his wife had a modern Italian garden laid out here. Later, it became a park in French style, with flower beds and statues. It was still only accessible to the castle inhabitants and their guests. 

Nowadays, the park is open to everyone and is a wonderful meeting place. People have picnics, walk, play, and chat. In the park, you will find various artworks and can settle on the terrace of the T-House. On King's Day and during festivals such as Parkies and Breda Barst, it seems that all of Breda gathers here.
