Oud Gastel play forest

In Oud Gastel, a Play Forest has been created for kids where they can play freely. Here, youngsters can not only run, cross-country ski, climb and build huts to their heart's content, but also see, feel and smell nature.

There is a barefoot path, a willow tunnel, an insect hotel, walking and sitting poles, balance beams and no fewer than twenty self-painted bird houses hanging in and around the play forest. There is also a giant picnic table and bench. Natural materials such as tree trunks, branches, shells, sand and stones have been used as much as possible. Cute gnome posts show children the way to the play forest from different sides.

Parking tip: Parking lot of Blankershoven Swimming Pool.
