Outdoorpark Alkmaar open every day this summer for free climbing and play

Published on: 25 June 2026

During the summer holidays, Outdoorpark Alkmaar is opening its doors every single day for individuals and families this year. While the park is normally only accessible to groups and pre-booked activities, anyone fancying an active day outdoors can visit daily this summer. From Saturday 4 July to Sunday 16 August inclusive, the park is freely accessible to everyone throughout the summer holidays. Afterwards, visitors can go for a swim at Hoornse Vaart swimming pool. Tickets are available in advance online via www.outdoorparkalkmaar.nl/recreatief-zwemmen.

A whole day of climbing, scrambling and playing

Visitors can use all the obstacles in the park between 10:00 and 16:00. The admission fee is 9.50 euros per person. One accompanying adult (aged 18 or older) is admitted free of charge per paying child. For just an extra 2 euros, you can round off the day with a refreshing swim in the adjacent Hoornse Vaart swimming pool.

Open every day this year

Following a successful first edition last year, Outdoorpark Alkmaar is opening its doors even wider this summer. Instead of a few fixed days, the park will be open every day throughout the entire summer holiday for ‘free play and climbing’. Children will have the freedom to explore the park independently and experience their own adventures.

“Last year we noticed how enthusiastic children and families were to discover the park for themselves,” says Tom Leering, coordinator at Outdoorpark Alkmaar. “That’s why this year we are opening our doors every single day during the summer holidays. No more set days to worry about, just drop by whenever it suits you and enjoy climbing, scrambling and playing.”

Combo ticket with Hoornse Vaart swimming pool

Outdoorpark Alkmaar is located right next to the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool. For just an extra 2 euros per person, visitors can also go swimming after climbing. Normally, a swimming ticket costs 6.10 euros, making this combination an attractive summer offer. In the summer months, Hoornse Vaart swimming pool offers plenty of swimming and play fun. Outside, there is a large pool with a slide, while inside there are multiple pools, an interactive slide, an obstacle course and entertainment. Tickets can be purchased online in advance via www.outdoorparkalkmaar.nl/recreatief-klimmen.
