Scheldt Docks South — Attraction in Antwerp

As a local I fully applaud the reconversion of the “Scheldekaaien” (used to be a parking) however am a bit disappointed in the lack of ambition, creativity and finishing touch.

Considering global warming it still feels a bit too exposed (not necessarily advocating more trees, though it wouldn’t hurt, but structures creating shade could also do the work). The kids playgrounds are truly marvelous but why not fenced (so the kids could run around without having to watch them all the time?). The basketball court and football field are cool but am puzzled why they need an open door directing towards the river (already seen kids running after their balls before they land in the water). Why the football court is not roofed? Why so few benches at the new playground at...

Really nice place for a walk next to the river recently renovated. In continuation there is continuation site with plans to expand it to the south part of the city.

There is playground for children, skate park, basketball court, calisthenics part and many siting area. You have multiple water tap in the entrance. One of the gems of Antwerp, the perfect place for sunset hunting.

Highly...

Last year they finally opened up this place again after a long time of renovations. The result is definitely astounding.

This spot is becoming the new hotspot in Antwerp on warm days. I have been here a couple of times last week and thousands of people gather here together to sit, drink and watch the sunset.

Really wish that some bars would open...
