At this spot, dotted with several benches, boats come and go constantly. Always a pleasant sight.

Nice cycle route through the park

nice path, but watch out for sheep.

Sheep always walk the same path.

This park is adjacent to the nature reserves Zoetermeerseplas, Benthuizerplas and Bentwoud.

Small park with a sheep area and a dog walking area. Lots of walking and sometimes fishing

Beautiful park between Zoetermër, Benthuizen and Waddinxveen. Plenty of benches, beautiful paths, more and more animals, pheasants, magpies, foxes, wayner birds etc. The intention is that there will also be a mtb route.
