Our vision
A low-stimulation park
for everyone
Spelen bij Beelen is a low-stimulation park with room for the kind of play we remember: climbing, running, building, discovering and having fun together.
No electric attractions
No flashing lights or loud machines: children make the adventure themselves.
Fair food and drinks
Healthy, honest products stay affordable so every family can enjoy a day out.
A clean environment
Reusable solutions, free water and fewer packages add up to a cleaner park.
The experience
So much to do.
Even more to discover.
Spelen bij Beelen opened in summer 2026 with 35,000 m² of play space. And we are only getting started. Work on the next phases of the park continues every day.
Our dream is to build Rotterdam’s most beautiful park: a place where families play, discover and grow together in a low-stimulation environment.
