The Oud Valkeveen Play Park was created in 1874, when the owners of a farm house in Valkeveen noticed that there were many visitors passing by the farm to visit the beach. They set up a pancake house, and a small play area for the children of the visitors to enjoy. The park has now expanded to offer rides, a large play field, a private beach, and a theatre tent. The park is designed for families with children up to the age of 12.
