On Wednesday afternoon, December 10, 2025, Alderman Boersma opened the new pump track at De Molenwiek playground.
Grand opening
Parents, (youth) city council members, the press, and, above all, lots of children attended this festive opening. Chiem Wijns' mother, Dorine Wijns, was present on behalf of the original initiators, Chiem Wijns, Jack Buurman, and Willem Marten.
After the official part, Sem Kok gave an impressive demonstration to loud cheers. The children then eagerly made use of the track for the rest of the afternoon.

The pump track was made possible by a grant from the MRE project "Urban sports in the region."
