The Opening

The Greenpark was formally opened on Friday the 10th of September 2010. Among those present and speaking were such notables as owner and initiator of the project Christian Stadil, Alderwomen responsible for sustainable development Alexandra Van Huffelen,  CEO of WEST-STAR Ronald Bouwen and Alexandra Countess of Frederiksborg. The official opening of the GreenPark was also done by the four aforementioned people.

The event was covered by several radio and television stations in addition to numerous newspapers.

During the opening, as a special attraction, a Skype connection with Danish Jalte Tin and his wife had been organized. The couple was traveling around the world on the first Skype worldtour with an electric car. We caught them via Skype when they were in the Goby desert in Mongolia.

The GreenPark is instrumental in reducing the overloaded sewer systems of Rotterdam, as the rain which falls on the car park roof is used for the irrigation of the plants.
