In 2019, under the watchful eye of hundreds of people, Nature Playground De Hoef was opened. During the opening, initiator Viktor Evenhardt praised the determination that has ensured the project’s realisation. The playground, which was built as a farm in the year 1900, is now a complete nature playground where children with and without disabilities can enjoy playing together.
Inclusive playground
The Nature Playground is an innovative place where everyone should feel at home. For instance, children with disabilities have been taken into account. These children can also come here, providing a social connection and regional function as a community playground to play together. The Nature Playground is maintained by local residents and serves as an example for many other places in the Netherlands.
Natural playground design
The layout of Nature Playground De Hoef is very special. Unlike many other playgrounds, the focus is on making up your own games and activities. The playground is specially designed for this purpose, which ensures that children can continue to challenge themselves. The natural design of the playground will contribute to children’s development. Experiencing nature and challenging play are central here.
Vibrant heart
The playground is the vibrant heart of the De Hoef neighbourhood. Besides the natural playground, it will also be an inviting place for adults. It offers families the opportunity to let the children play together and the parents to come into contact with each other. Facilities such as an terrace with opportunities to enjoy a snack and drink contribute to this.
