The Goffertpark, or Stadspark de Goffert, is an urban park in the Dutch city of Nijmegen. It is the site of the Goffertstadion, the stadium that is home to the football club N.E.C. and is sometimes used as an outdoor concert venue. The park is named after a former farm in that location, in turn named after a man who lived there around 1740, nicknamed "den goffert".
In addition to large fields that are used for events such as circus, concerts, and festivals, the park also has a children's farm, rose garden, open-air theater, forest, and several ponds. An outdoor swimming pool, the Goffertbad, is along the edge of the park.
