Our name

The park owes its name to the two ‘wheels’ it is located against. These two round lakes were created by dike breakthroughs in the 12th century. In 1250, Sint Maarten was still on the sea! The lakes are now natural paradises, but in fact they are scars from the dramas that took place here.

The playground

The playground has an awesome cableway, a trampoline and, of course, swings, slides and seesaws. There will be a water/sand play area with a water pump and play elements for the little ones.

Parkhuys and sports field

In the autumn of 2021, a new building will be erected on the site of the old sanitary building. 
It will be called Het Parkhuys and there will be:

  • a cafe with billiards and snack bar
  • a sanitary area with toilets and showers
  • a washing machine and dryer
  • and an office.

There will also be a fenced-in sports field with basketball rings and football goals. 

For events, the Parkhuys will be enlarged by stretching a canvas across the road to the large trees near the Jeu de Boules pitch. The party can begin! Of course, there will also be a TV connection for watching football matches or other TV broadcasts. 

Look at the 3D impression how the new Parkhuys will look like! In real life it will be much cozier with a real brown café!
