# Catharijnesingel Canal Park

Utrecht, Netherlands

A canal and green belt ringing Utrecht's old centre, born from the medieval city moat. Filled in for a motorway in 1973, it was dug out and reopened to boats in 2020, an award-winning return of water that locals now line with picnics and paddling.
