History About 1960 a large lake was created between Tilburg and Hilvarenbeek due to a large amount of sand being extracted. After a few years Lion Park Beekse Bergen, a zoo, was opened next to the lake.
At the same time another park opened its doors at the other side of the lake: Speelland Beekse Bergen. Later the zoo was renamed Safaripark Beekse Bergen. At first, Speelland (in English Play Land) mainly aimed at summer recreation. Later the park was enlarged with different playgrounds and attractions, becoming a small attraction park. Speelland is a part of the company Libéma since 1987.
Park Speelland mainly focuses on families with children until the age of 12. A large part of the park is filled by a sand beach.
