Holiday park De Wielerbaan, located at the Veluwe, owes its name to the velodrome ('wielerbaan' in Dutch) that is at the actual center of the park. The so-called Wageningen Velodrome was built in 1933 as a project to create work opportunities. Seventy unemployed persons were commissioned to dig a hole and to pour a layer of 12 centimeters of concrete. On Sunday April 29th 134, this track was festively opened with an opening competition, in which cyclist Jan Pijnenburg and others competed. The track offered no fewer than 7,500 standing places and 1,000 seats, and various competitions were organized here for years. After 1945, a holiday park was constructed around the velodrome, and the last official competition at the velodrome took place in 1967.
These days, no competitions are held at the velodrome anymore. However, it is still intact and present at the park. In fact, the velodrome is the beating heart of the holiday park. At the center of the velodrome are a playground, a swimming pool and a restaurant. This ensures that the soul and history of the track live on at Holiday Park De Wielerbaan.
