What Parque West does

Parque West is an outdoor adventure park located in Utrecht, Netherlands, operating as a subsidiary of DeFabrique Holding. The park combines multiple recreational activities on a single site adjacent to the A2 highway: a climbing park with a 25-meter tower, 10 routes, more than 100 obstacles, 14 ziplines, and a 22-meter free-fall apparatus; two mini-golf courses totaling 24 holes; stand-up paddleboard (SUP) boarding on the Haarrijnseplas lake; a 150 sqm VR gaming arena; and a mini-parcours for children between 90 and 129 cm in height. The venue also houses the Parque Café restaurant and the De Stapmolen event space for group bookings.

The business serves a diversified mix of consumer and small-group customers, including families, school groups, corporate team-building events, birthday parties, and bachelor parties. Monetization is per-activity: climbing tickets at €24.50, mini-golf at €12.50 per route, and SUP boarding between €24.50 and €34.50, with additional revenue from F&B and private venue rentals. The site opened in May 2023 and has since sequentially launched Horeca operations, Night Climbing, and the Parque Café, indicating an active product-extension strategy under the DeFabrique Holding umbrella of eight brands.
