In the Roman period, De Motten was located near the current city park. the Jeker a modest harbour. Even in the Middle Ages, this area was one of the most important trading areas of our city ('de Leuren'). However, in the first half of the 20th century the neighborhood fell into decline. The existing ponds were filled in and dump pits were built in their place. The site was only revalued in the 1950s. De Motten has since formed the connection between the city center and the new, more southerly residential areas. An outdoor swimming pool (now gone) was built as well as a sports stadium and tennis courts. Many Tongeren sports clubs found a home here! It was also in the 1950s that the then highly polluted Jeker was hidden underground! Thanks to many efforts, the water quality of the river has improved significantly in recent years! It was therefore decided to reopen the Jeker. It recently flows prominently again from the Velinx along the Kastanjewal towards Moerenpoort and city gardens. In this way, it is the link between the city center, the park and the neighborhoods around it. She connects the Kevie with the Velinx, nature with culture. Almost every Tongue resident or visitor can go to this park for some form of leisure experience. Sports, heritage and culture are central!

The sports and recreation park is located on the edge of the city centre and functions as a green lung and recreational alternative to the busy city life. The city park is divided into a recreational and sports zone.
