Good accessibility has been one of the reasons for many entrepreneurs to establish themselves at Kennispark. Increasingly more entrepreneurs follow. To maintain and improve the high accessibility standards, Kennispark continues to invest in optimum accessibility and new transport options. For example, we are currently rolling out the new parking strategy in the area. Download the overview map here to see where you can and cannot park at Kennispark. An overview of all transport options to and at Kennispark can be found below.
Car
Kennispark can most easily be reached via the highway. It is only a 12-minute drive after exiting the A35 at exit 26 Enschede-West. Do you work at Kennispark and do you need (replacement) transport quickly? Then you can use the shared cars at Kennispark.
More information about the use of the “Campuscar”: www.goabout.com.
Bike
Enschede wants to be a ‘cycling city’ by 2020, which is why the City of Enschede is investing in high-quality and safe bicycle facilities. For example, the GROEN app (“GREEN app”) has been developed to ensure traffic lights turn green faster when cyclists approach. Kennispark is easily accessible by bike from Hengelo via the F35 bike highway. Train passengers alighting at the Enschede Kennispark station can use the GoAbout shared bicycles.

Kennispark has a train station, located next to the Grolsch Veste, the FC Twente football stadium. From the train station, it is a fifteen-minute walk to the University of Twente and surrounding companies. At the Enschede Kennispark station (north side) it is easy to take the bus to various locations at Kennispark.

Water
Kennispark is the endpoint of the Twentekanaal, a canal that starts in Zutphen and is a branch of the IJssel river. Twente connects carriers and companies using the name “Port of Twente” to ensure proper accessibility by water in the Eastern Netherlands. The port at Kennispark is part of the Port of Twente.
