About us
### About The Playground – Brussels Sports by Sunday Vacations
Play sports. Meet people. Have fun.
The Playground is an international sports community in Brussels for anyone who wants to stay active, meet new people and enjoy recreational sports in good company.
Whether you're into running, badminton, volleyball, basketball or simply looking to try something new, you're welcome to join us!
Our philosophy is simple: sports should be fun, accessible and social. You don't need to be an athlete or belong to a club. Just bring some enthusiasm and a willingness to participate.
🏃 What We Do
We bring people together through a variety of recreational sports and physical activities around Brussels.
Our activities may include:
- 🏃 Running & Jogging – Social runs through Brussels' parks, forests and neighbourhoods, with different distances and paces.
- 🏸 Badminton – Friendly singles and doubles sessions for different experience levels.
- 🏐 Volleyball – Recreational games where teamwork and having fun matter more than winning.
- 🏀 Basketball – Casual games and opportunities to meet other basketball enthusiasts.
- 🚴 Other Sports & Activities – We're always open to new ideas, whether it's cycling, table tennis, football or something completely different.
Some activities are beginner-friendly, while others may require a certain level of fitness or experience.
The difficulty, required experience, meeting point, participation costs and any equipment needed will always be indicated in the individual event description.
🌍 More Than Just Sports
The Playground isn't about building the strongest team or finding the fastest runner.
It's about creating opportunities for people to connect naturally through activities they enjoy.
Come alone or bring a friend. Many of our participants are international professionals, expats and locals looking to expand their social circles in Brussels.
You might discover a new sport, find a regular training partner or simply meet someone interesting over a friendly game.
And who knows? Your next badminton partner might become your next travel companion!
🤝 A Community Built Around Participation
Our activities are organized with the help of volunteer hosts and community members who enjoy sharing their favourite sports.
Have an idea for an activity? Know a good location? Would you like to organize a game or lead a running session?
We'd love to hear from you!
You don't need to be a professional coach to contribute. Enthusiasm, reliability and a welcoming attitude are what matter most.
💚 Accessible & Inclusive
We aim to make recreational sports accessible to as many people as possible.
Some activities are free, while others may involve venue rental, equipment or organizational costs. Any applicable fees will be communicated before registration.
All backgrounds, nationalities and experience levels are welcome, provided participants respect one another and follow the activity guidelines.
You don't need to be particularly sporty to join us, but a sense of humour and a little team spirit certainly help! 😉
