The park is located partly within and partly outside the city moat on the north side of the city and extends from the road Stationsstraat - Dalerallee to the Stieltjeskanaal. It is named after the Coevorden-born lieutenant general and governor of Aceh, Joannes Benedictus van Heutsz.

The park features the Oranjebank, which was erected on the occasion of the birth of Princess Beatrix, and a Resistance Monument (1949) by Bas Galis (both within the city moat). At the highest point of the park, also within the moat, is the Coevorden water tower.
