No less than 400,000 euros. That is what it costs to properly renovate the oldest skatepark in Europe, located on the recreational lake Het Hulsbeek in Oldenzaal. A lot of money, as initiators Jos Wissink and Marko Matic know. “It is an investment in youth.” They hope for help from the municipality of Oldenzaal. How much money should it make available? And who else can contribute? With their plan they want to convince the political groups in Oldenzaal to think about the renovation of the old skatepark on the recreational lake Het Hulsbeek. Jos Wissink and Marko Matic do this with dedication. “Skaters from all over the world came to Oldenzaal to use the skatepark at Het Hulsbeek. The job had a kind of international allure, a worldwide status,” says Matic. “There is little left of that at the moment. The park requires a lot of maintenance. It's a kind of patchwork.”
