Annie M.G. Schmidtpark

Annie M.G. Schmidtpark is a green space stretching between two municipalities with distinct sections across roughly 72 hectares. From north to south it transitions from areas with playgrounds and trees through a central zone with a swimming pool and skate park to a water-rich nature playground.

The park project began in 2008 as a major landscape transformation effort between two settlements. Significant public investment supported its development, creating a new green corridor for the region.

The park honors Dutch author Annie M.G. Schmidt, who spent decades living nearby and left a lasting mark on the region through her writing. Walking through the grounds, you sense the connection between the landscape and the literary legacy it represents.

The park is divided into distinct zones, making it easy to find activities suited to your interests. Plan to visit different sections in sequence to experience all that the space offers.

The southern section contains Tuin van Floddertje, a play area where children engage directly with water and natural materials. This unusual space lets kids interact hands-on with nature rather than simply pass through it.
