History

Around the year 1960 a large lake was created between Tilburg and Hilvarenbeek due to a large sand extraction. After a few years the zoo Lion Park Beekse Bergen 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 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.
