Your grandparents have probably also been on school trips to Speelpark Oud Valkeveen!





Oud Valkeveen Playground might look new and modern now, but as grandma or grandpa can probably tell you, it's actually quite old. There's a good chance your grandma or grandpa used to swing there or ride the seesaw as a little kid. These days, the park boasts a funicular, trampolines, sandboxes, a ball pit, a zipline, and much more. Admission to the attractions is free, so come as often as you like!
Your grandparents have probably also been on school trips to Oud Valkeveen Playground! Oud Valkeveen has been a popular destination for school trips for many years.
About four centuries ago, a wealthy merchant from Amsterdam bought a plot of land between Naarden and Huizen. It was then called "Oud Naarden." He built a farm there. The farm was used as a residence, but also for the produce from the surrounding land. The land was rented out. Trees were felled and the firewood was sold. Vegetables and fruits grown there were also sold. The farm initially had no name, but later it was named after a small plot of land on the estate: Valkeveen.
Around 1874, people could travel to the Gooi region by train and tram. Because the land the wealthy Amsterdam merchant had bought had a beach on the Zuiderzee, many people now flocked to Valkeveen. In the summer, parents and children came to enjoy the sun, beach, and water. The then-owners of the farm saw a bright future for this. They transformed the farm into a pancake house. Visitors could now not only enjoy the beach but also a snack and a drink.
The pancake house was a success. For years, people visited the farm on their way to the beach. Around 1930, it was decided to build a playground at the pancake house. Thirteen years later, a large canoe pond was added. Between 1935 and 1974, horse racing competitions were even held there.
In 2025, Speelpark Oud Valkeveen was named the best day out in the Province of North Holland by DagjeWeg.nl! This was thanks to the votes of thousands of visitors and fans of our park! We'd like to thank everyone for their votes and positive reviews!
