The neighbourhood playground for generations
Since the late 1950s, children from Haarlem-Noord have been playing here in the Schoterveense polder. From the wooden Fokker you can climb into, to the swings under the old trees — it’s cosy, simple and just right.
Run by volunteers who love the neighbourhood and its history. Every year an AGM with cake and plans. No theme park, no franchise — just a playground of and for the neighbourhood.
