Lelystad to get green maze in Warande
Since last week, the Olmenpark in Warande has a new maze. The maze was officially opened with great enthusiasm in the presence of children from Kindschool Warande, who were eager to explore the maze.
Community Initiative
The maze was created following a request from resident Jaap Knip at the community initiative meeting. The green maze makes the park even more attractive for children to play in and for families to spend time in. Before the maze could be officially opened, the children helped place the final willow branches.
Children’s Community Initiative
At the children’s community initiative meeting, Daley also proposed installing a fence around the football field in Olmenpark to prevent dog waste from accumulating there. The fence has since been installed, and this initiative was also highlighted during the festive opening of the maze.
Investing in greenery and play space
By investing in greenery and play space, Olmenpark has become an even better place where socializing, playing, and physical activity are central.
