In the sundial park, another part of the Genk city park, you will find 12 sundials. They make the link with what can be seen and learned in the Heempark and Kattevennen. Art and science go hand in hand here.

The Zonnewijzerpark in Genk is a unique and educational park known for its collection of sundials and beautiful green surroundings. Located in the Waterschei district, this park offers a combination of nature and science and is a popular destination for both residents and visitors of Genk.

Features of the Zonnewijzerpark

1. Sundials: The park has different types of sundials, each with its own design and way of measuring time based on the position of the sun. Visitors can learn about the operation of sundials and their history, and children and adults are invited to read the time themselves using the sun.
2. Educational Aspect: The Zonnewijzerpark is not only intended for relaxation, but also for education. The park offers information panels and explanations of the sundials, making it an interesting place for schools and families who want to learn more about astronomy and timekeeping. 3. Natural environment: In addition to the sundials, the park is beautifully landscaped with walking paths, flower beds, and trees, making it a pleasant place to walk and relax. The green surroundings contribute to the peaceful and educational atmosphere of the park.
4. Events and visits: The park sometimes organizes guided tours and educational activities to give visitors more insight into the operation of sundials and the role of the sun in our daily lives.

The Zonnewijzerpark is one of the special places in Genk where art, science, and nature come together and is definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in astronomy or just wants to enjoy a beautiful piece of nature.
