At Bellewaerde Park in Ypres, nature, adventure, and themed experiences come together. Various themed zones and animal enclosures each possess their own distinct aesthetic, with natural stone playing a key role.
Boymans Rocks & Boulders supplied different types of natural stone for several areas throughout the park, each carefully selected to align with the character and atmosphere of its respective zone.
Four areas, four distinct looks
For the Amazonia attraction, Mambo stone was selected. In the Canada themed area, ‘Scandi’ boulders (Scandikeien) were used, contributing to the landscape’s rugged, natural appearance.
Natural stone also plays an important role in the animal enclosures. ‘Ardennes yellow’ (Ardenner geel) was supplied for the giraffe enclosure and the Jungle Mission attraction, while ‘Ardennes grey’ (Ardenner grijs) was chosen for the lion enclosure.
Each type of stone possesses its own unique color, texture, and character. It is precisely this variety that makes it possible to shape different landscapes and atmospheres in a natural way.
The right stone for the right experience
At Boymans, we do more than just supply natural stone. Leveraging our extensive network of European quarries and our many years of experience, we assist clients in finding materials that align with their specific designs and vision.
Bellewaerde Park serves as a great example of how various types of natural stone can work together to shape the identity and aesthetic of a theme park.
We are proud of our contribution to several areas within Bellewaerde Park, and we would like to thank the team for their trust and for the pleasant collaboration.
