Swimming, playing and romping in the water: not only do we enjoy this, but also our four-legged friends. Take your dog to a special dog beach in Zoetermeer to burn off his energy. Dog happy, you happy.

In the Balijbos

From the Kurkhout in Rokkeveen you can walk with your dog into the Balijbos. Turn left immediately after the bridge and you will see a dog beach a little further on the water. A nice, green place to let your dog loose and play together at the pond.
