Speeltuin was one of the oldest rides of Attractiepark Slagharen. It opened in 1964 and it was the first ride of the park. However, The park was already one year older. It started as a vacation park with ponies. To give guests more pleasure they built a playground. One year later the first funfair rides will be placed.
The playground had different play objects, such as a slide, a family swing or a boat swing. In those times big rides were not very frequently seen. So a big playground was enough for a whole family.
