Sportpark Berg & Bos, sports park
Sportpark Berg & Bos is a sports facility in Apeldoorn, Gelderland, with four football fields and a stadium seating around 3,000 spectators. The site includes a main stand built in the 1920s, modern facilities with artificial turf, and open spaces used by local teams and the community.
The park opened in 1921 and initially hosted various sports including football and equestrian shows. The stadium was rebuilt in 2003 when AGOVV Apeldoorn returned to professional football and required updated facilities.
The park's name comes from its location on a hill and wooded area, with 'Berg & Bos' meaning hill and forest. Visitors can see how this connection to nature and local sports remains woven into daily use, where community members gather for matches and informal games.
The park is accessible by local roads and has parking nearby. Expect open fields and green surroundings, with the best times to visit being during training sessions or match days.
The main stand was damaged by wood-boring beetles in 2012 and temporarily closed, but later underwent extensive restoration. The repairs were partly supported by a sponsorship campaign where visitors could sponsor individual seats.
