Forgotten Beauty

Dadipark

This abandoned themepark made a small town famous. The story starts in October 1949 when priest Deweer opened a small park. In 1950 it started as a test under the name Daiselpark.

In the year 2000 it all went wrong, when a boy lost his arm in a toy jet and people started complaining about the security. From then on, fewer people visited the park every year.

In 2002 the park closed. It was planned to be closed for a year but in 2003 it didn’t open again and the place that once brought so much joy is now rotting away. Nature is trying to take it over and there are no future plans for this beautiful place.
