New Sports Center in Voorschoten
Last modified on: May 20, 2026
General Information
The Municipality of Voorschoten wants to build a new sports center with a sports hall and a swimming pool—a sports center for all residents. In April 2025, the city council selected a suitable location: next to the Het Wedde swimming pool at Adegeest Sports Park. The new sports hall will replace the De Vliethorst sports hall in the city center. The new swimming pool will replace the current Het Wedde swimming pool, which is in need of replacement.
But we’re not there yet. First, the municipality will determine what kind of swimming pool is needed. How big should it be? And what amenities should it include? This study will take place in the first half of 2026.
Open House Afternoon
On Thursday, April 9, 2026, there was an open house at Het Wedde swimming pool at Adegeest Sports Park.
During this open house, residents had the opportunity to speak with the project manager and municipal advisors about the plans for the new sports center in Voorschoten. The plans for the new swimming pool were also explained in more detail during the open house.
Survey
In March and April 2026, the municipality conducted a survey about the new swimming pool. More than 600 adults and over 120 children completed the survey.
The study paints a clear picture. The new swimming pool should evolve into a multifunctional aquatic facility where recreation and the overall experience take center stage. It should also be highly appealing to families and young people.
You can find the complete survey results at the bottom of this page.
Final decision
In the third quarter of 2026, the city council will make a final decision on the design of the new sports center. It will likely take until 2030 for the sports center to be completed. Until then, the De Vliethorst sports hall and the Het Wedde swimming pool will remain open.
