On the west side of the town, the Hortus Botanicus and other gardens extend along the old Singel, or outer canal.
The Leidse Hout park, which contains a small deer park, lies on the northwest border with Oegstgeest.
The open space for the park was formed by the accidental explosion of a ship loaded with gunpowder in 1807, which destroyed hundreds of houses, including that of the Elsevier family of printers.
