In addition to the tennis court there are three ponds, a large garden pavilion with thatched roof including and water and electricity access and an own toilet. This is an ideal place for barbecues and larger events.

The four houses of the Dekraal are situated in the middle of a two hectare award-winning botanical garden (2nd place 2004) with illuminated paths and partly covered seating.

For bird lovers there is a place called birdwatch. Over the hanging bridge it is possible to visit the largest pond where you can canoe to the small island with ducks.
