===Parks===
Eindhoven contains several parks and a lot of open, green space. Of the five largest cities in the Netherlands, it has the highest percentage of green area (encompassing about ⅓ of all public space). It is also the greenest of the five largest cities in [[North Brabant]]. The green area per house is about {{convert|100|m²|abbr=off}}.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.eindhoven.nl/web/show/id%3D352162/contentid%3D38296 |title =  Eindhoven - Nieuwsbericht|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130617181453/http://www.eindhoven.nl/web/show/id%3D352162/contentid%3D38296 |archive-date=17 June 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Some of the major parks in Eindhoven are the [[Stadswandelpark]], [[Genneper Parken]], the [[Philips van Lenneppark]], [[Philips de Jongh Wandelpark]] and the [[Henri Dunantpark]]. There is also a green area surrounding the [[Karpendonkse Plas]] (a water area). The combination of park area, water and general atmosphere got the Ooievaarsnest neighborhood elected the "Best large-city neighborhood of the Netherlands" by the [[NRC Handelsblad]] in 1997.<ref name="BestBuurt">{{cite news|url=http://retro.nrc.nl/W2/Lab/Profiel/Buurten/stad.html|date=18 September 1997|newspaper =[[NRC Handelsblad]]|title=Profiel: Buurten in Nederland|access-date=2 September 2010|language=nl}}</ref>
