Turnhout Sports & Outdoors Tips by Ronald_T

Archery...

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...

Athletics...

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...

Tennis...

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 !
