A relaxing park (1.5 hectares) built in 2008-2009, directly opposite the O.L.V. Church, which makes it a beautiful village center.
A proud resident of Oostnieuwkerke told me that this was "skone for weddings", because "wedding photographers in (nearby) Westrozebeke (which also redeveloped its village center at the beginning of this century) had to take out special insurance, because they were on the busy road there." had to stand." Sometimes chauvinism is an endearingly funny thing :-)

In the park there are two statues by artist Maen Florin (°1954): one on the steps close to the church, one at the other end of the park, near the mirror pond. Two silent, introverted figures, in response to a quote from J.P. Sartre, which served as the starting point for a competition organized by the municipality:
"I am alone in a park, projecting my feelings onto the landscape surrounding me. Suddenly I see a human being who is observing me. In that moment I become an object defined by the other. The experience of emptiness brings our situatedness into the world, our commitment to others is expressed. A person must constantly carry that emptiness with him in order to be permanently aware and to express his commitment to his fellow human beings."
