Location
Westbroekpark is one of the most beautiful parks in The Hague. The park has large playing fields, ponds and waterways. The detached groups of trees and the picturesque vistas make it reminiscent of an English park. Westbroekpark is best known for its beautiful rose garden: the International Rosarium, which was built in 1960. Here, 20,000 rose bushes bloom on about 300 beds between June and the end of October. They are the newest varieties that are bred by growers from all over the world and are sent in voluntarily. A Wokrestaurant and the Waterkant tea room are located in the Westbroekpark.

The Westbroekpark is located in the Scheveningen district. The park is easily accessible by car, public transport and bicycle. The main entrance to the Westbroekpark is on the Kapelweg.
