Take a splash in our beautiful 2.7 ha natural swimming pool. Relax on our expansive lawn or on the solar island and enjoy a snack and drink on our cozy terrace.

More sense of adventure? Discover our two spectacular water slides!
The longest water slide takes you through the many bends with a devilish speed. In the tube slide you can even slide with your own rubber boat!
The little ones can splash around to their hearts. The soil is only 30 cm deep and runs very gently to a maximum depth of 1.80 m.

Children can romp in our large playground. Slide down the slide, crawl into the carousel, dive into the swing basket. Climb the space net or conquer the climbing fort!

In short, everything to spend a nice day with the children.

Recreatieoord 't Fonteintje

Many people know the recreation resort as ‘het kapelleke’ because it developed around the chapel of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-aan-de-staak. This chapel has been a place of pilgrimage since 1826.
Yet there is more: the lookout tower is central in this woody area. Those who climb the almost 30 metre high tower can look out across the typical Kempen landscape. The domain includes a playground, miniature golf, trick pin bowling, a splashing pond and several lovely campsites for youth clubs. Sports-lovers can use the fit-o-meter or do some orienteering.

Tucked away in Kattevennen just behind the Visitor Centre you’ll find a picnic spot with a difference. Named Corpus, it was designed by nature artist Will Beckers. Visitors sit cheek by jowl in a large mown circle, cocooned by a sculpture made of corten steel and tree branches. A unique experience!
“Corpus embodies the growth process between Man and Culture by making a connection with Nature.” – Will Beckers

The Molenvijver & sundial park

The Molenvijver Park in the centre of Genk was originally a swampland that was fed by the Dorpsbeek. In 1967, the Molenvijvers were converted into a city park. The authentic watermill is now a restaurant.

You have a view from the Molenvijvers Park onto the most beautiful villas in Molenstraat. Number 80 is La Maison Blanche, the artist Armand Maclot’s villa.

You’ll also find a sundial park here, with no fewer than 12 ways to tell the time.
In this park in Genk you’ll find 12 contemporary sundials. They were designed byJan De Graeve with the help of gnomonists and artists from various European countries. The project brings together scientific ingenuity, modern technology and artistic design. Discover the creativity of scientists and the reasoning of artists or ... how art and science can complement each other. Even when the sun isn’t shining, it’s certainly worth visiting the park.
