English:

 

The Park locks are two locks in the Dutch province of South Holland, in the shipping route from the Delfshavense Schie to the Nieuwe Maas. They connect the Coolhaven with the Parkhaven in Rotterdam. The waterway is CEMT class III. The Park locks are part of Schieland's main flood defense. The western Grote Parksluis has electrically driven roller doors that run on rails. The door cases are located between the two lock chambers. The eastern Kleine Parksluis has lifting doors, which are designed as a quadrant and are electrically driven via gears.
