Speel- en Bunkerpark Groede Podium
A wonderfully green park for hours of play!
Speel- en Bunkerpark Groede Podium is a surprisingly green play and bunker park between the beach and the village of Groede. In a relaxed atmosphere, you can enjoy the outdoors, a refreshing drink, a fresh pancake or simply watching the children play. Information panels along the paths tell the story of this special place.
Discover through play
Children can climb and clamber to their heart’s content on the tree trunks and exciting play equipment. With the climbing tower, the rope bridges, the maze and the water playground, they’ll never run out of things to do!
Action and adventure
Looking for more action? Take a spin on the drift kart track or bounce to your heart’s content in the trampoline park. These activities are a great addition to a day at the park, for kids and adults alike. Check out the current offer on the activities page.
Bunker village
If the trees of the Speel- en Bunkerpark could talk, they’d have plenty of stories to tell! During the Second World War (1939–1945), the park was part of the Atlantic Wall, the German line of defence along the European coast. The bunkers, dating from 1942, are now an important part of the park. Be sure to take a look at the original paintings on the bunkers: the soldiers used them to disguise the bunkers as little houses. Most bunkers are freely accessible, while others are home to bats. Learn more about the history of Stützpunkt Groede.
Guided bunker tours
Want to find out even more about this place? Besides exploring the bunkers on your own, guided bunker tours are organised during the season. The guide takes you past and inside the bunkers and tells you all about the history of the park. More information can be found on the bunker tours page.
Animal friends
Peacocks, donkeys, deer, goats and pot-bellied pigs, as well as special breeds of sheep and rare farm animals, all have their own spot in and around the park.
Groese Polders
Groede Podium lies in the heart of the Groese Polders, a string of small nature reserves and recreational green spaces. Here you’re free to play, rollerblade, run, walk and cycle. Along the way, you may cross paths with special sheep, horses and the rare Zeeuwse Witrik cattle breed.
Time for a treat at ’t Hoofdkwartier
While the children have fun on the exciting play equipment, you can enjoy the wide view over the polder. The spacious terrace of ’t Hoofdkwartier is a must for a refreshing drink, a fresh pancake, a tasty lunch or a cool ice cream!
Great events
Throughout the year, a variety of great events take place at the Speel- en Bunkerpark. Zomer in ’t Park (Summer in the Park) offers two summer event days with live music, delicious food and drinks, and activities for children. During the autumn half-term holiday, it’s time for Herfst in ’t Park (Autumn in the Park), with lots of fun children’s activities so the little ones are never bored. The park is also perfect for exciting children’s parties and meetings in nature.
