Although water should be central to the redevelopment of the Vianderpark, an open-air swimming pool or pond is not feasible, according to the mayor. “A real swimming pool in the Vianderdomein is difficult, it costs far too much to operate,” says Mayor Partyka. “There is no city that does this independently, all open-air swimming pools are owned by the province.” In addition, the mayor thinks that an outdoor swimming pool also does not fit in the Vianderdomein. “The domain is the green lung of Tienen where sports and walking are taking place, but we do not want the domain to be taken by surprise by people who want to come for a swim. The domain must remain a quiet park. We also do not want to charge any entrance fees. as city councils rather think of a water play park for children, a splash pool or swimming pond “, concludes Partyka.
