History

From manage to climbing park: the roof goes off- er, on!

Through Funda, the owner of DeFabrique Holding stumbled upon a former riding school. An eleven-year-old site with beautiful sheds: with a passion for repurposing old buildings in the leisure world, this is love at first sight.

The site was purchased and the first pile was driven into the ground by 3 generations together on Friday, December 2, 2022. Construction gets underway! About 3 months later, a celebration is held: the roof goes off - er, on! It is a literal and figurative high point: the 25-meter high climbing roof will be installed on March 10, 2023. And the opening ... is getting closer.

Explore our new climbing park Parque West

Just close your eyes, and open them again

On May 27, 2023, our doors will open to create adventurous and lasting memories for young and old alike. The real official opening will be celebrated on June 1, 2023, after which 500 adventurous visitors will be welcomed on the Whitsun weekend.

The opening of the hospitality industry

On July 31, 2023, Parque West's hospitality industry will open. On bright days, people will be eating and drinking beer on the terrace; on rainy days, people will enjoy their hot chocolate with whipped cream inside the restaurant. But, always overlooking their climbing friends and family.

In fact, why only during the day?

A cool idea arises: what if you could also climb at night? During the fall break, on Oct. 14, 2023, people also step into the ropes in the dark. Well, dark. With atmospheric lighting and a light on the helmet, climbing is made a little easier!

Opening Parque Café & winter climbing

On 4 nove the new restaurant will open: Parque Café. With the new entrance on the side of The Ribbon, cyclists and walkers can also easily walk into the cozy. At the same time, the Parque is also open in winter. With a large, cozy space and terrace, guests now also enjoy hot chocolate under heaters or food from an extensive menu in a winter-warm cafe with games in winter.

DeFabrique Holding

Parque West is part of DeFabrique Holding. What began over twenty years ago with an innocent visit to an old linseed oil and compound feed factory has now grown into a household name in Utrecht, Enschede and Kalkar. Whichever place you visit, the goal is the same: to provide a unique environment where young and old can come together and make lasting memories. And just like Parque West, each repurposed building has its own history.

DeFabrique Holding now has eight brands within the leisure and events sector. Parque West is one of DeFabrique Holding's newest companies. Where the company began last year as a climbing park, it is now also an extensive catering facility with exciting VR games.
