The Stadspark in Groningen is an approximately 140-hectare park on the southwest side of the city in the Stadsparkwijk. It is a municipal monument. The construction of the park was an initiative of the Groningen industrialist Jan Evert Scholten and was inspired by the ideas of the City Beautiful movement. In 1909 Scholten founded the Vereeniging Het Stadspark with the aim of raising money for a people's park. Work began in 1913. The park was designed by the landscape architect Leonard Springer, together with the Groningen director of municipal works J.A. Mulock Houwer. A lot of construction work in the park was carried out by unemployed people in the context of the provision of employment. On 19 May 1926, the official opening of the City Park Pavilion took place in the centre of the park. This completed the construction of the park, which had taken thirteen years. In 1931, as a tribute to Scholten, a monument was placed in a prominent place on the Concourslaan. In the park, the Jan Evert Scholtenlaan and the Mulock Houwerlaan are reminders of the initiators.
