Spelen bij Beelen is a play park with an outdoor playground and covered play areas. The large sandpit, the roller rink and Verkeersstad Harvey are covered, so children can dig, build, skate and drive around in the dry even when it rains.
That means a rainy forecast does not have to cancel your day out. There are no time slots, so you can simply wait for a shower to pass.
Frenky World is the new indoor play world above the sandpit, where children can climb, scramble and explore. It is expected to open in mid-October 2026; until then, the sandpit, the roller rink and Verkeersstad Harvey are the park's covered areas.
Not the whole park is under a roof. The outdoor playground, with the rope bridge, the swings and the slide tower, is in the open air, so it gets wet when it rains. If you want to be sure of staying dry, head for the large sandpit, the roller rink and Verkeersstad Harvey.
