In 2018 the rollout of various new playgrounds started. First, new playground equipment and a zipline were installed. In 2020 a completely new adventure- and natural play hill were added. In early 2021, the next phase saw an exciting Cassini spacecraft placed at the entrance and central facilities. More imaginative play elements followed later that year. For example, you will now find a brightly coloured themed house with a puppet theatre and an exciting trackride. In 2022, another playground for natural fun was installed. Here you will find a combination of sand and water, wooden child seats and a balancing parcourse.
Expansion of the terrace and catering options
For the adjustment at the entrance, a new path was built in 2021; this created space for the extension of the terrace among other things. Here is the big, distinctive, and challenging Cassini space themed play combination. Right next to it is a brightly coloured Figura Play playhouse with a puppet theatre. Here the children can let their imagination run wild. The trackride for the older children is also located in this central part of the campsite. While the guests enjoy themselves on the terrace, the little ones can have fun with all the play equipment. Of course, tumble bars and swings could not be missing in the playground. All ages and types of play are catered for!
Play hill with watercourse
The sand hill next to the previously built zipline higher up in the park offered an excellent opportunity for an exciting climbing and adventure route.
A ramp made of wood is placed here. A challenging climbing route from the Adventure Play Explore range was created on the play hill. A water pump with a waterway leading down was also installed. The sand, the water and the landscaped playgrounds invite you to play.
Adventurous and imaginative game
For this particular playground a design concept for risky and adventurous play in a natural environment was chosen, combined with elements from our Figura Play concept. New natural play areas have been created on various fields. The construction of challenging play elements has resulted in an exciting play- and discovery trail through the forest and across the campsite. Camping and rental accommodations are available near the play hill.
Another natural playground was set up further up in the park with sand and water features and a discovery/balancing path (check a animated video here).
Wherever you are in the park, you can jump right into the adventure! The central facilities have been designed with colourful, eye-catching, and imaginative play elements that attract attention.
Phased plan
With an attractive entrance, a genuine “red-carpet facility” and an adventurous overall experience in the park, you can really distinguish yourself as a leisure company. In this case a complete master plan for play and movement was developed and executed. It was implemented in phases over several years, with a proper storyline, consistent theming, and a clear layout of the different areas.
