De Ster, Recreational park in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium
De Ster is a large recreational domain spanning roughly 100 hectares with a swimming lake, water sports facilities, and water slides. It also features a playground, petting farm, trampoline park, and multiple sports areas for various activities.
The domain started as a basic recreational area and developed over time into a diverse sports and leisure facility. It is now managed by East Flanders province and serves as a training and event venue for schools and clubs.
The domain serves as a gathering place for school groups and local clubs seeking outdoor activities together. Families and athletes use the open spaces and water areas for training or leisure time.
The domain is open year-round, with paid admission required during the season from Easter through late September. Best conditions are found in warmer months when all water facilities and outdoor areas are in full operation.
The domain hosts an annual sports day specifically designed for people with disabilities and special education students. The event offers activities like horseback riding and sailing that are often not easily available to these groups elsewhere.
