    Tennis fields can be found on the city park as well.
    There are four shared tennis fields and two separated. It is a long time ago I was playing, but I guess the prices are now about 3, 50 Euro and 5 Euro. Please let me know I am wrong about that.

    Due the success of our Belgium tennis woman, Kim Cleysters and Justin Hennin, lots of people want to play tennis nowadays. Be shore you make a booking on time !

    An athletics track you find also in the city park.
    I don’t know you are able to train by yourself. Maybe you have to be a member from some athletics squad. People who are interested to do some activities here, better ask in the park somewhere ;-)
    Off course it is always aloud to watch...

    There is also a possibility for archery in the city park. I do not know a thing from this sport and can not tell you how it is working. The only thing I know am that they are shooting on a plume.
    Maybe you will know what I mean when you see the picture...

     This is our second time staying at the Ter Driezen and it was wonderful. We stayed off the courtyard. I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Turnhout.
