The largest open-air swimming pool in Brabant Walloon: Bois des Rêves

The provincial domain of Bois des Rêves in Ottigines hosts since 25 years ago the larges open-air swimming pool in Walloon Brabant. Between 2012 and 2017, the average yearly number of visitors amounted up to 39,000 visitors in the summer.

With the view to improve the current infrastructure, Walloon Brabant has the goal of setting up two new large swimming pools by 2020. The main objective is to provide the maximum comfort to visitors, whose numbers continue to increase every year.

One of the main technical improvements will be a moveable, transparent ceiling which will cover the swimming pool whenever necessary. This will extend the swimming pool’s current opening period of June to September and needless to say, the installation of the ceiling could allow visitors to come during rainy periods.
