Living in Magrietpark, Midden-Groningen

Magrietpark is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in Sappemeer, a town that belongs to the municipality of Midden-Groningen. The name already hints at its character: there is greenery, the streets are laid out around a park-like structure and it feels more like a residential area than a busy urban neighbourhood.
