From vast dunes in Kijkduin, green parks and forests to cozy neighborhoods such as Waldeck, Houtwijk and the historic center: that is the Loosduinen district. Loosduinen is undergoing rapid development and there is room for new initiatives. However, the village character is being preserved.
Wonderful initiatives have been submitted from various neighborhoods in the Loosduinen district. You will find a selection of them on this page.
BuurThuis Houtwijk has grown into a regular meeting place in the neighborhood. Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, local residents gather in the SV Houtwijk clubhouse for a cup of coffee or tea, a game, music, or simply a good conversation. What started as a small initiative has now become a valuable place for meeting and connection, especially for older residents in the neighborhood.
Last year, the Houtwijk neighborhood council, together with the new shopkeepers' association of the Houtwijk shopping center, organized a fantastic sustainable market! Featuring wonderful initiatives such as custom-printing a broken part with a 3D printer, but also information about waste, second-hand items, and making Happy Stones!
The play boat in Kijkduin is a well-known and beloved piece of playground equipment on the boulevard. It is a large play ship that children can climb on, clamber around, and pretend to be pirates or captains. The old boat was removed in 2020 because it was no longer safe. After the renovation of the boulevard, it returned in 2025 as a new, safe version. It is called Medusa.
