Ducks in Lake Phoenix

Aktivpark Phoenix - leisure fun in harmony with nature

Due to its proximity to the city, the Aktivpark Phoenix is ideally suited for numerous leisure activities.

The exemplary renaturalised quarry with a large lake (40,000 square metres) was designated as a local recreation area in the overall reclamation plan of the city of Beckum. A good view of the area is possible from separately created observation points.

In addition to an adventure playground, play areas for children of different age groups have been set up, such as sand play areas, a water play zone, a play slope with a giant slide, a ropeway and various pieces of equipment for seesaws, swings, balancing, climbing and playing. Great importance was attached to the use of water, sand and wood for building as elementary play elements in the design of the playgrounds.

Since 2016, there has been a disc golf course at Aktivpark Phoenix. This sport is becoming increasingly popular. The course is available to all visitors of Aktivpark Phoenix free of charge. National and even international tournaments are held in Beckum several times a year.
