When it was finished part of it was permitted to be used as an educaational and recreational facility called Waterland. The Delta Works control center dor the dam is also on the island This building is not open to the public. |

There is also an area where one can walk out to the barrier, as well as many activities (mostly for the young or young at heart). |
