Playing in Natuurpark Spoorzicht
The two new play areas in Natuurpark Spoorzicht are now ready for use. Since the end of last year, children have been able to climb, scramble, and explore to their hearts' content. Although the weather does not always cooperate, the municipality invites all children and their parents to head outside and discover the new play areas.
Two play areas for different age groups
One play area has been designed for older children seeking more challenging activities. This adventurous climbing forest features demanding equipment and a lookout tower. The play area is built around a row of Spanish galleons, a characteristic remnant of the former football field. The other play area is a natural, playful environment specially for younger children. The equipment has been carefully designed around the existing trees and will soon be even more accessible via the new boardwalk that is being installed. The entire area blends seamlessly with the natural atmosphere of the park.
Nature first – recreation adapts
Natuurpark Spoorzicht is an area where nature takes the lead. This also means that the park can be muddy in autumn and winter. The same applies to the ground around the play areas. However, the equipment can be used year-round.
To ensure Spoorzicht remains easily accessible even during wetter periods, a boardwalk, including a picnic spot with opportunities for nature education, will be added after the summer. Ecological work will also begin to further enhance biodiversity. Preparations for this are already underway.
With these two new play areas, we are offering children a wonderful place to play, explore, and connect with nature. Spoorzicht is a unique nature park right in the heart of our municipality. We want everyone to enjoy it, all year round. I invite all children to put on their boots, head out, and experience these new play areas for themselves.
About Natuurpark Spoorzicht
The municipality considers it important that the unique nature in the park is preserved and given room to develop further. The already rich biodiversity should continue to grow. Management and maintenance are therefore tailored to the flora and fauna in the area. Efforts are also being made to create strong ecological connections with the surrounding environment.
