Sign up before July 1st via west31@gmail.com, stating your name, number of people and (possibly) children. We hope for a beautiful sunny day where we can all enjoy ourselves.
Celebrated expansion of the playground
A beautiful playground has been realized. Many children and their parents are happy with this. Unfortunately, that is not the case for everyone. Local residents suffer from excessive noise, more rubbish on the street and busier traffic. Let’s all make sure that the playground remains clean, that it does not become a source of annoyance and that nuisance for local residents is limited.
The Sporting Dutchman
Our resident Gerda alias ‘De Sportende Hollander’ has taken the initiative to connect neighbors in Vroondaal through sport and exercise. Strong spirit in every way.
All members of the BVVH are invited to the GMM and drinks on April 21 in restaurant Madestein. Start 19.30. Please sign up via info@bewonersverenigingVroondaalHofstedepark.nl

In the afternoon of November 27, Sinterklaas and his Pieten surprised us with a visit. It rained all day but when the Saint arrived in Vroondaal-Hofstedepark it was dry. The Saint was picked up in a Cabriolet because his horse had a rest day.
Welcome Sinterklaas on November 27th

Ahead for you….
November 11 is the name day of Saint Martin. Sint Maarten became famous because as a soldier he gave half of his cloak to a poor beggar.
Although there is much speculation about the origin of Sint Maarten, it has now become a party for everyone.
Are you participating in making the city of The Hague more sustainable by making our neighborhood more sustainable?
The municipality of The Hague is helping with energy transitions in a neighborhood this year, under the headings: “The year of the roof” and “Roof hunting”.
Officially, Halloween is a holiday that falls on October 31, but we celebrate this in our neighborhood in the evening on October 30.
The origin of this festival lies in Celtic and Catholic culture. The Celtic New Year began on November 1 and was New Year’s Eve on October 31.
