Florapark The entrance to the new Florapark is on Middel Broekweg, a historic ribbon traditionally serving as an important physical but also socio-cultural link between Westland’s municipal centres. Centrally located in the area covered by the plan, the park connects to the surrounding area through a number of green fingers. Different construction areas are created between the green fingers of the park, with clusters of buildings being built in stages. Florapark’s function is to facilitate places to stay and meet, and is attractive for residential as well as business and recreational purposes. This will be achieved through a mix of footpaths, small sports facilities, space for events, and landscape elements with water features and green spaces. Florapark not only serves a function for local residents, employees and students, but it also provides important green space for Westland and creates new ecological and recreational green corridors on a larger scale. Florapark will create a new connection between the Wollebrand recreational area on the south-east side of the planning area and the green space around the Naaldwijkse Vaart on the north-west side. A central feature of Florapark is the Hortus Lab, serving as a visitor attraction. Westland Municipality has set high requirements for landscaping in terms of surface area and layout of greenery and water. Florapark alone comprises 62,500 m2 of green space (excluding the communal courtyards between the houses). Lowered banks totalling 6,000 m2 along watercourses in the project area contribute to improving biodiversity. The Horti Business clusters feature greenery at ground level (13,000 m2 ) as well as vertical greenery. 4 Masterplan Flora Campus Westland
