Atletiekwedstrijden Almere- free access for anyone?

Hey! I found this athletic stadium in Almere (Atletiekwedstrijden Almere). Do you know if it is free to access and run or does it require membership? Or do you know other 400m running tracks in Almere? I cannot find any on google maps :(

Leuke plekjes in Almere Poort om een thee'tje te drinken of iets anders

Vaak in de avond uren verveel ik mij en heb ik soms de behoefte om ergens buiten rustig een warm kopje thee te drinken of een warme chocomel. Nu ben ik nog niet heel erg bekend in Almere Poort.
Ik ben op de hoogte van restaurant Dunes en restaurant Zuyder. Echter, dat is enkel in de wijk Duin. Zijn er aanraders op plekken elders in Almere Poort.

Couple in Almere Poort Looking for Friends! (F34 & M29)

Hi everyone! 👋

My boyfriend (M29) and I (F34) are looking to meet new friends around our age in the Almere Poort area. We’d love to find others to hang out with, whether it’s for:

  • Board game nights 🎲
  • Coffee walks ☕
  • Dinner outings to explore new cuisines 🍣🍝🍛

A little about us:

  • We both enjoy board games and video games 🎮. I’m into crafting (crocheting, embroidering, painting, and pottery) and also love yoga and mental relaxation experiences like sound baths and singing bowls 🧘‍♀️. My boyfriend is a great cook, loves gaming, and has a knack for tech.
  • I’m a non-Dutch speaker, and my boyfriend is Dutch, so we’re happy to hang out in English or Dutch.
  • We’re childfree and live with our adorable cat 🐾.
  • We’d describe ourselves as fun and easygoing but also enjoy downtime to recharge.
  • We both love exploring different cuisines (Japanese, Indian, Italian, and more!) and are always up for new culinary adventures. We’d love to travel around the Netherlands to discover hidden gems and cool experiences.

If you’re in the area, and enjoy similar things, let’s connect! We’d love to meet up for some board games, a chill walk with coffee, or even a fun dinner outing. 😊

Winterzwemmers? (+locaties)

Hi allen,

Ik zoek mensen/groepjes die winterzwemmen (in de natuur) in Almere waar ik me bij kan aansluiten om ‘s weekends in de ochtenden een plons te maken. Ik heb voorheen in een grote stad gewoond waar winterzwemmen heel normaal was en ik dus regelmatig solo ging, echter heb ik in Almere nog geen plek gevonden waar dat prettig voelt om te doen en ik mis het heel erg! mocht iemand tips hebben voor plekken zou het ook fijn zijn (denk aan een steiger met een trapje, een prettig strand met niet te veel voorbijgangers, etc).

Fence Repair company

Any references for a fence repair company/handyman who can repair and/or replace a fence with a valid invoice? My fence has been damaged during the strong winds over the weekend and the insurance company has asked for a quote to get it repaired. A couple of handyman I know said they can do it but cannot provide an invoice. I am also searching online but not getting anything promising in Almere.

Waar in Almere kan ik het veiligst mijn fiets parkeren, zonder dat die gestolen wordt?

I have a leak in my wall at the ground floor. Water seeps out. Does anyone know what kind of specialist is able to help?

Basically title.

Bottom corner of tiled floor at ground floor toilet. I dried it out with a drying fan, became fully wet within half hour again.

This is a spot right under (70cm under) where the toilet water supply comes out of the wall, however the space in between is dry.

It's only a 15x15 cm square that is wet at the floor, not the side walls.

My suspicion is that some of the warmte (heating water) supply pipes got burst, but I have no clue how to investigate further, or whom I could call to help investigate.

Does anyone know what kind of specialist will be able to investigate as well as provide suggestions for fixing, if not do the fixing themselves?

Also, does anyone know if this can be covered by home insurance?

I'm in tussen de vaarten midden, part of Stad.

No dogs allowed on most streets

I recently visited Almere Centrum with my dog and noticed a lot of the streets in the inner part of the center has "No dogs allowed" signs. Is it not even allowed for walking with a leash, and is there a particular reason for this?

Confiscated Bicycle by Municipality Sale

Dear All,

I recently came to know that municipality confiscates bicycles which are unattended for long time. They are stored somewhere in Esplanade. Later they are sold off to dealers or retailers. Does anyone knows how we can buy those cycles if we wish too? Sometimes there is a good deal on them.

City heating

I have a city heating contract with a service fee that's already nearly a hundred euro per month.

I might as well crank the heater if it's another 30 or 40 a month doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. I have a contract with Nuon and I cannot change city heat provider, I am stuck with them I think!

I want to have suggestions because people on r/frugal are asking, do you put a coat on and wrap a blanket around you, to save money. Well, if I'm already spending €100 a month, why bother.

Looking for a Dutch Language Teacher for Kids (Ages 5 and 7)

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Dutch language teacher for my two kids, ages 5 and 7. Currently, they attend an international school, so they're not in a Dutch-speaking environment. While we’re not in a Taal centrum right now and may potentially move to one in the future, this is still undecided. In the meantime, I’d love to give them a solid foundation in Dutch to help them learn naturally through play and interactions with other kids.

We’re looking for someone who has experience working with young children and can make the learning process fun and engaging. Ideally, we’d like lessons focused on basic Dutch conversation and vocabulary, helping them feel more comfortable in a Dutch-speaking environment.

If you have any recommendations for in-person or online teachers or programs that would fit this need, please share! Group classes or individual sessions could both work.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Where can I find cheap wooden planks?

I want to build a wooden planter box to save some money on the planters and pots that are being sold in garden stores (too expensive tbh)

However, looking at the wood I can buy at places like Gamma/Praxis or specialized wooden stores, I would end up paying as much if not more for the construction if I want to build it myself.

At the same time, I know very well how much good wood people throw out when they do renovations, or just in general.

Is there any place that sells used wood? Do kringloops sell wooden planks?
