Kalverhoek
Kalverhoek is a sports park in Wijdewormer, in the municipality of Zaanstad, with open fields for various ball sports and activities. The facility includes training areas, changing rooms, and basic spectator seating for matches.
The sports park opened in 2016, replacing earlier facilities in the area. Construction began in 2015 as part of a plan to provide better training conditions for local sports clubs and later for professional football club AZ.
The park serves as a gathering place where local sports clubs and residents come together for practice and matches. It reflects the community's connection to outdoor activity and team sports as part of everyday life.
The site is easily reached via Zuiderweg near Zaandam and has sufficient parking. Walking paths run around the grounds, making it convenient for visitors to explore the area.
Since 2015, professional football club AZ uses the grounds for training and matches. This connection brings top-level professional football to a small rural community.
