A wonderful little spot on the border of Haarlem and Overveen, I don’t know why you don’t see more people here. The park spans the Brouwerskolkweg and offers hills, trees, pathways, sandy spots and a perfectly swimmable lake. There is one cycle path through the area which you can easily avoid if you want to. You can make your walk more interesting by looping through the trees and shrubbery to the side of the paths.
There is a lookout area which is often used as a party spot, keep an eye out for broken glass there.
The Brouwerskolkje restaurant is a lovely spot for lunch and does allow dogs on the terrace, however it’s not your usual walkers cafe, it is actually quite a prestigious restaurant!
You can park at the Brouwerskolkje restaurant, or a little further up the road near the Terrerodeweg just before the railway line.
Pros:
- Quiet, mostly no cyclists, very few walkers
- Lots of walking options, can make it very short or long and varied
- Clean water
Cons:
- Trying to think of one…
