• Two play forests where kids drag branches around and build their own huts, so dress them for mud
• Deer in the Koekamp, resting by the ponds, and in autumn you can hear red and fallow deer in rut
• Skate track by the Malieveld, behind Paviljoen Malieveld, with bumps for BMX riders and traffic-free space for kids learning to skate

Haagse Bos is a centuries-old forest in the middle of the city, protected since the Act of Redemption and the oldest protected forest in Western Europe. Kids build their own huts in its two play forests, and deer rest in the Koekamp among ponds and winding paths.

There are open lawns for lounging, and a skate track by the Malieveld with bumps for skaters and BMX riders.
