Zuiderpark

The park is lush and green. Alive with the sounds of birds calling to each other as they fly over the pond. You can see them gracefully perched atop trees and landing close to the pond’s edge as the flapping of their winds creates ripples on the water. The sounds are reminiscent of spring and everything coming to life. South Park is a park located in the South Park district of The Hague, it is part of district Escamp .
