De Balokken Wervik

The dog zone is located by the small parking lot just past the farm. Every year, the pond in the dog zone in De Balokken has to be closed due to the risk of blue-green algae contamination. Blue-green algae release toxic substances that make animals sick. To protect the animals' health and ensure that the dog zone can remain open permanently, it was decided to fence off the pond so dogs can no longer enter the water. Additionally, an extra dog zone was created next to the current dog zone. One area is intended for large dogs, the other for small dogs.
