Another good place for training is the nearby forest Vlietbos, which you'll find when driving from Antwerp-Linkeroever to Zwijndrecht at your right side just when entering Zwijndrecht. Here you can also find a fitness-center. This place is also particulary well-known by mountain-bikers, because of the few sandy climbs in the neighbourhood. Somewhere between Beveren and St-Niklaas you'll find De Ster (The Star) which is a recreation-area with children's play-area, but also suited for running. They have a small lake, with a nice sandy beach well-suited for power-training. During summertime season you must pay a small entrance fee. There is a very nice track (tartan) next to the recreation area, but probably only open during the training sessions of the hosting atletics club (Acw).
