Havenpark, located on Wethouder van Essenweg, has steadily grown from a modest underground club to one of the most influential nightclubs in its region. Established in the early 2010s, the venue originally catered to a tight-knit community of electronic music enthusiasts, offering a sanctuary for experimental sounds and new talent. Over the years, Havenpark garnered a reputation for its forward-thinking programming and commitment to inclusivity, drawing attention both locally and from further afield.

Cultural critics have praised the club for its role in revitalizing the local nightlife, and its parties have been described as transformative, echoing the energy of global nightlife hotspots while retaining a distinctly local character. Structurally, the club underwent a significant renovation in 2018, expanding its dance floor, enhancing its sound system, and redesigning its interior to embrace an industrial aesthetic while improving accessibility. Despite rumors about possible relocations during zoning reforms, Havenpark successfully negotiated to stay at its original location, solidifying its status as a cultural landmark and a hub for creative expression in the city.

The club frequently collaborates with visual artists, hosts pop-ups from emerging chefs, and provides a platform for social movements, further embedding itself into the city’s cultural fabric. Regular events such as all-night techno marathons and live art installations have helped the venue attract a growing, diverse crowd and ensured its place as a staple of nightlife in the area. Notable artists who have performed at Havenpark include international names such as Ben Klock, Honey Dijon, and The Martinez Brothers, alongside acclaimed local talent like Sandrien, Shinedoe, Job Sifre, Identified Patient, and Tsepo.
