• Big lawn next door for ball games and picnics when the play equipment gets busy, so bring a ball
• Rowing boats to rent at tea house De Waterkant in the park, an easy add-on after the playground
• Rose garden in summer, with about 20,000 bushes in some 300 beds and an international rose contest judged each July

A public playground in Westbroekpark, the 18-hectare park between Madurodam and Scheveningen. Kids get a climbing castle, swings and a zip line, with a big play lawn right beside it for ball games.

The rest of the park is worth a loop: a duck pond, sculptures by 20th-century Dutch artists, and the rose garden, where about 20,000 rose bushes flower in summer.
