Sportpark Harga is a sports and recreational facility located in Schiedam, Netherlands. The term is not widely recognized as a major global concept and lacks extensive coverage in general English-language encyclopedias, though it is an established geographic and administrative entity within local Dutch contexts.
The facility serves as a central hub for various athletic organizations in the region. Notable tenants of the park include HC Schiedam, a field hockey club, and Hermes-DVS, an association known for cricket and football. The site typically consists of multiple sport-specific fields, including synthetic turf pitches and natural grass areas, alongside associated clubhouse infrastructure.
In recent years, Sportpark Harga has been the focus of a significant urban redevelopment project led by the municipality of Schiedam. This initiative, often referred to as the "Harga-midden" development, involved the reorganization of the sports facilities to facilitate the construction of residential housing within the same area. The resulting residential district, known as Park Harga, was marketed as a sustainable "gas-free" neighborhood that integrates living spaces with the existing sports environment. The park is situated in the northern part of Schiedam, bordered by the A20 motorway and the Princess Beatrixpark.
