Allemachies!

Official plans have not yet been approved, but a destination for the park has already been found. . ,, The former Sportpark Vijfsluizen would be a good location. It's a sports park with swimming pool that has not been used in a while. "

,, Attractions, an exhibition of the duo, maybe a circus, a cinema and it already has a swimming pool.There are many possibilities," said ONS President Vlaardingen.

The Bas brothers and Aad van Toor (Bassie and Adriaan) seem to be enthusiastic about the projects. Their spokesman said that they were honored. Who pays for a park is always the question. "Maybe a John of Mol, Joop van de Ende, the church? Or maybe there are entrepreneurs who wish to invest in the park," says ONS Vlaardingen.
