Major renovations underway to transform Swimming Pool Park into an inclusive outdoor destination featuring nature-inspired play areas and fitness facilities.
AALST – The Swimming Pool Park in Aalst is set to undergo significant renovations aimed at enhancing the outdoor experience for visitors of all ages and abilities.
The redevelopment project emphasizes the integration of nature-inspired elements alongside facilities for exercise, relaxation, and education in a welcoming environment.
The renovation plans include the creation of five distinct areas within the park designed to facilitate diverse recreational activities.
New pathways will improve accessibility throughout the park, ensuring a seamless experience for individuals with mobility challenges.
These pathways are being reinforced and will feature seating and informative signage to enrich the visitor experience.
A designated children's area is planned, equipped with modern playground equipment such as swings and slides.
Additionally, a fitness area will be established, allowing visitors to engage in exercise utilizing their body weight amidst natural surroundings.
To enhance relaxation, designated spaces will be incorporated for visitors to enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the park.
In terms of specific upgrades, the park will introduce a 'play forest' where children can interact with logs, ropes, and other organic materials, providing a safe and stimulating environment for exploration and play, promoting a closer connection to nature.
A wooden platform will overlook a pond within the park, creating a designated area for spectators to appreciate the natural landscape.
An orchard will be planted at the park entrance, accompanied by an outdoor classroom aimed at educating the community about fruit cultivation.
This area will also feature picnic benches and hammocks to encourage communal gatherings and relaxation.
