This sustainable neighbourhood is located on the Wilhelminapark in RijswijkBuiten. It also lends its name to this: ‘rijk’ is Dutch for ‘rich’, which means that ‘Parkrijk’ can be translated to ‘Park-rich’. Sustainability is high on the list of priorities in this neighbourhood. For example, the houses are extra energy-efficient and much attention is paid to the green and water-rich design of the public space. 

In order to maintain the amount of green space, mobility is handled cleverly. For example, there will be less space for traffic and fewer parking spaces. To still continue to offer the residents of Parkrijk flexible transportation, Hely Hubs will be placed. These Hely Hubs will house shared electric bicycles, cargo bikes and cars that can be used by residents to still get around sustainably. A total of eight to eleven mobility hubs will open in this neighbourhood. Three have already opened so far:

• Hely Hub Parkrijk - Trilgrasstraat

• Hely Hub Parkrijk - Kamgrasstraat

• Hely Hub Parkrijk - Dagpauwoogstraat
