Insider tips

Rent a bicycle on-site to access the extensive network of cycling paths that crisscross the local agricultural polders.

Book a bungalow with a waterfront view to utilize the private small-boat docking areas if you plan on renting a canoe.

Pack insect repellent, as the park’s proximity to canals and open water makes it prone to mosquitoes during humid summer evenings.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim in the surrounding polder canals, as these are working waterways for water management and boating, not designated bathing zones.

Good to know

The outdoor swimming pool is typically closed during the autumn and winter seasons.

Etiquette

Quiet hours are strictly enforced after dark to maintain the tranquil residential atmosphere of the park.
