The renewal projects of 2021 are fully completed. Reason for an intermediate balance in the picture. It has become a wonderful promotional video, in which our pride in our beautiful park is beautifully expressed.
Wethouder Herbert Raat visited Park Startbaan
Curious about all the positive developments at Park Startbaan, Herbert Raat decided to honor the park on 7 October with an informal visit. Four years ago, as wethouder, Raat was closely involved in the decision-making process to privatize the park, as was Peter Bot, member and former chairman of LTC Startbaan, then alderman for sports

Winter rental 2021-2022: current position
It has gradually become clear how many players have extended their contracts and how many new contracts have been signed. There is again a lot of demand for job capacity, also among the trainers for training and lessons. Unfortunately, we also had to disappoint some. At the moment, 90% of the runway capacity in winter
New sheets on all tables
All billiard tables have been given new sheets. In particular: the match tables 8 and 9, but also table 7 have been given the somewhat more expensive but better PreciShot on the tires. This is material that absorbs dirt and grease less and retains the ball effect for longer due to the constant launch. Carom
Public transport stop Startbaan-van der Hooplaan disappeared
For reasons incomprehensible to us, the Startbaan/van der Hooplaan bus stop has been decommissioned during corona time. But in the meantime the Gondola stop of line 51 had also disappeared. Startbaan with all its facilities (schools and sports, but also more and more homes on the West side) is therefore completely devoid of public transport.
The new entrance gate, the broken cable and the new benches
The construction of the new entrance gate has been considerably delayed due to the damage caused to the KPN cable during the ground work. Not being able to pin, no telephone coverage for a week, the consequences were major. Fortunately, everything has been repaired, a piece of new cable has been welded in between. Wifi, telephone and the Sports Café's cash register system function as usual.

Progress of construction projects: changing rooms, outdoor courts and padel
The space of the two dressing rooms has now been completely “demolished”. The future walls are “drawn” on the floor with wood, after which the installer can start installing the underfloor heating after the holidays. (see picture)
The trees are threatened
There are five ash trees on the right side of the park entrance. These trees determine the park-like character upon entry. We have a sad message about these trees. Three of the five ash trees unfortunately have to give way as a result of the construction work.

Renewal dressing rooms photo message 10-12-2020
All interior walls in the women's and men's locker room area will be removed. This will cause the most inconvenience during this renovation. Although the inconvenience caused by the current closure of the Sports Café due to corona is of course not too bad.
