The Horsterpark (58 ha) is a recreation area in Duiven with a beautiful forest through which well-designed walking and cycling paths meander. It is also popularly called the dog paradise. Dogs running free are tolerated, except within the fences at the petting zoo. There is also a large lake where dogs can swim to their heart's content.

The horsterpark is really a very nice place for people and dogs. Dogs on a leash are allowed on the petting zoo.
